If you know that you have kidney problems, then most likely in your medicine cabinet you can find various means for their treatment and prevention of exacerbations. But if you feel unwell, pain in the lumbar region and do not know what it can be and how to be treated, then the following information will come in handy.
How are the problems
Most often,
kidney diseases can be detected by characteristic pains localized in the lumbar region. You can also suspect something was wrong with the appearance of pain during urination. Another symptom that you may need kidney pills is general weakness, fever, a significant decrease in performance. Often, blood pressure rises - this is also one of the symptoms of problems.
Diagnosis
Given the fact that a similar clinical picture can be with different diseases, even with minor problems it is better to go to the doctor and not look for kidney pills. Even if it seems to you that the problem is not serious, you should not make a diagnosis yourself. First you must see a profile doctor. He will prescribe tests of urine, blood, ultrasound of the kidneys and only after that he will make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate treatment. Of course, if you can’t get to the doctor, and you have already encountered similar problems, then you can recall the treatment regimens previously assigned to you. After all, the doctor selects drugs based on what kind of kidney problems you have.
Urolithiasis disease
If you have
kidney stones, then be aware that a number of other problems have preceded their appearance. So, they can be formed due to metabolic disorders, inflammatory processes, insufficient fluid intake. Often this disease is accompanied by intense discomfort. Taking pills for kidney pain in such a situation is justified. The necessary drugs in this situation include antispasmodic and diuretic drugs. So, you can drink the familiar No-Shpa remedy, but with severe pain it is unlikely to help. In this case, it is better to inject the drug "Baralgin", it must be administered very slowly. And diuretics, which can help in such a situation and accelerate the withdrawal of stones, include such drugs as "Nolitsin", "Furagin". True, they can exit if inflammation does not begin.
Stone dissolution
If you have found deposits in the kidneys, then you need to understand their nature. In some situations, they can be dissolved, and you don’t even have to drink other kidney pills. So, if they consist of uric acid salts (such formations are not visible on the x-ray), then they can be dealt with. For this, citrate mixtures are suitable . But if the stones are visible on x-ray and they are large enough, then they are not subject to dissolution.
But if, during research, deposits of more than 0.5 cm in diameter were not found, then washing them is sometimes recommended. To do this, use both kidney pills on herbs and various synthetic drugs. Phyto-remedies include "Kanefron N", "Cyston". The synthetic drug Allopurinol, which is necessary in such situations, helps to dissolve deposits and has a prophylactic effect. Blemaren tablets are also used in the treatment of urolithiasis, they are designed to dissolve calcium-oxalate stones and urate-oxalate stones, provided that in the latter the level of oxalates does not exceed 25%. To dissolve cystine stones that are not amenable to other treatments, drugs such as Penicillamine or Thiopronin can be prescribed. These kidney pills are quite effective, but poorly tolerated by patients. Therefore, they prefer to leave in the end, if other means do not cope with the task.
Renal colic
Sharp pain that occurs in the lower back (less often in the abdominal region), increased pressure, nausea, and vomiting often force patients to consult a doctor. A specialist using research and analysis can determine that the cause of this condition is renal colic. It is categorically impossible to independently make such a diagnosis for yourself, and even more so to prescribe pills for pain in the kidneys without consulting a specialist. By the way, this problem in almost 60% of cases is a consequence of urolithiasis.
In an inpatient setting, such antispasmodics are most often prescribed: No-shpa, Papaverin, Eufillin, Spazmolitin. In addition, they are combined with painkillers such as Trigan-E, Analgin, Tramadol, Novocain, Promedol. In addition to medicines, thermal treatments are recommended. These include the use of heating pads, sandbags and
sitz baths. The water temperature in the latter is maintained at 38-39 degrees Celsius. In special cases, even
novocaine blockade can be made
.Inflammatory processes
One of the common problems is pyelonephritis. So doctors call kidney inflammation. In this case, treatment (tablets and all other types of therapy) is best carried out in a hospital under the supervision of specialists. The main condition for a successful recovery is the use of a large amount of fluid, compliance with bed rest and the timely start of antibiotic therapy. A diet is also important, in which everything sharp, fatty, salty is excluded.
If you have kidney inflammation, treatment (pills in which you will definitely have to take it) will be long. For example, antibiotic therapy can be prescribed for up to 6 weeks. It is stopped only when the condition normalizes. This will be indicated by normal body temperature and urine and blood tests without deviations. So, for treatment using such a well-known antibiotic as Penicillin. With a stable microflora, the doctor will choose one of these drugs: Erythromycin, Vibramycin, Tarivid, Kevzol, Ristromycin - or choose some other one. At the same time, it is recommended to change the drug every 10-14 days so that the bacteria do not develop resistance.
Special cases
In some situations, the use of antibiotics is undesirable. But this is not a reason to refuse treatment. If the disease is relatively easy, then you can use such tablets for kidney disease, such as Urosulfan, Etazol, Biseptol, Sulfadimethoxin. Also referred to antimicrobials are “Furazolin”, “Furadonin”, “Furagin”. Of course, they work best in combination with antibiotics.
In some cases, nalidixic acid agents may be used . They are most often prescribed as maintenance therapy, while the main problem has already been eliminated. These include drugs "Nevigramon" and "Negram."
If the patient is intolerant of antibiotics, then use drugs such as "Urotropin" and "Salol." Although in some cases it is necessary to resort to surgical intervention.
Glomerulonephritis
Another rather serious problem is the deterioration of well-being, a decrease in the amount of urine, which in color becomes similar to meat slops, the appearance of edema, and an increase in pressure. This occurs with glomerulonephritis. If the disease is severe, then as a result, both renal failure and anuria (complete absence of urine) can develop.
It is impossible to neglect treatment, also it is not worthwhile to independently find out which kidney pills you can drink to improve the condition. In a hospital, prescribe drugs such as Reserpine, Raunatin, Furosemide, Hypothiazide, Uregid, Klofelin, Brinerdin. If the pressure does not increase much, then you can limit yourself to antispasmodic drugs, "No-shpa", "Papaverin" and the like will do. To remove edema, prescribe drugs "Furosemide", "Hypothiazide", "Lasix", "Uregid". Also, doctors can add other drugs if there are concomitant problems and complications.
