Question
My mother was hospitalized with nephritis in 1995 and has not received medical treatment since. Her recent check-up shows abnormal kidney size, chaotic collecting system, and a small amount of leukocytes, erythrocytes, and protein in the urine, with normal renal function. What might these results indicate? Does she have uremia? How should we handle this situation? Thank you for the expert guidance!
Answer
Based on your mother’s medical history and examination results, she was hospitalized with nephritis in 1995, but the specific type of renal disease was not provided. The recent ultrasound examination revealed that the left kidney measures 7.53.5cm and the right kidney measures 11.06cm, with a chaotic collecting system in both kidneys. The urine routine test shows a small number of leukocytes (3), erythrocytes (3-5), and protein (+), while the renal function test did not show any abnormalities. With this information, further examination and professional medical evaluation are needed to determine the specific type of renal disease and the severity of the condition. There is currently not enough information to diagnose uremia. It is recommended that you bring your mother to a medical institution for a detailed examination, including consultation with a kidney specialist, to obtain an accurate diagnosis and treatment advice.
