OP pls how much is d.cost for d test cos I need to go for similar test. I'm.getting suspicious of my own kidney.

I went for a medical test to take to nysc in 2018, d doctor said I had proteinuria I.e protein in my urine. I later went to check my kidney and I was told my kidney was ok even though I know d test was not thorough enough.

Since then I've been having some symptoms like ankle pain, though d ankle was as a result of football injury and slight swelling on my left ankle that makes me not to be able to stand for too long. I also have back pain to bend down and do something is prb. Of recent I noticed I'm having a kind if pain close to my left chest my hrt position. I noticed after abstaining for sex for months, I started seeing something looking like sperm coming out of my urine at d beginning of my urination but after having sex or masturbating d cloudy urine will stop.

I'm curious to go for this test but I'm scared of d financial implications and also want to
know what kind of hospital run this test.

Generally I looked healthy but I just wish to go for this test to take away my doubt, I just hope its only my mind that is playing tricks on me.
I'll like to ask. Did your urine foamy?
Maybe when u urinate inside WC, did it bring out foam? Like someone that pour beer inside the glass cup

To be honest sir your clinical symptoms I.e the decline urine output for 3years now, foamy urine, and elevated blood pressure at 28( though the bp in patient with kidney is often more markedly elaveted like somewhere above 180/120) are suggesivr of chronic kidney disease. However yourcreatin and urea as well as your abdominal ultrasound are very normal and that strongly rules out ckd.
If the result still comes out normal this time, i will advise u see a psychiatrist, u may be having psychosomatic anxiety disorder. That can also explain why your bd is moderately elavated and why u having some of those symptoms

So, what do u think my problem could be?
Are you a medical practitioner?
I'm just down and fear has taken over my heart.
I think of death almost every hours. My life just started and I felt something bad is about to happen
I'm just kinda scared of kidney aliment.

Yea I am a medical practitioner..
Kideney aliment is scary indeed not just to u but to everyone..but I noticed that you are "over scared' about it than how everyone does and thats a psychiatric condition- anxiety disorder with somatic manifestation and hypochondriasis.
This can also explain the blood pressure elevation and also the perceived decline in urine..am sure you also feel like your heart is pounding..
If your test turns out normal again, u may want go see a psychiatrist

Thanks for your response. I'm working in an office. No sunlight.
Also I drink a lot of water.
I may not urinate more dan twice a day and it will be just very little to some drops.
Overall daily urine can be as small as half of plastic bottle water and with high concentration.
Example is the picture I upload. That's a day urine after drinking like 10 pure water

Okay. But my verdict is that if those excess water are being lodged in your body, you would be clearly seeing the effects by now. And I'm sure that you would agree with me on that. So, why are you not observing the effects of water retention in your body by now?

I have went to the hospital yesterday because yesterday was my appointment.
I was told to run some test which I've done 3 years ago. So they wanted me to redo the test once again
Each test cost 6000. Making 12000 in total

Anyone who is willing to support me financially because I'm currently broke. No job right now.

Hello everyone. I'm back again. I've went for the tests and on Tuesday, I went to see the doctor. Everything went well so far. A lot of People are battling kidney related issues, both young and old, male and female.
Below are my results
They cost 12k.

Re: Taking A Bold Step To Know If I Have Kidney Disease Or Something Else by dierich: 12:20am On Feb 10, 2022
So, I was told to run another test cost 7500
Was also told to buy a particular drug. I'm yet to know the price but someone said it'll cost 12k because it was discovered I have stage 2 hypertension.
I'm still experiencing the low urine output, and I was told that care need to be taken so it won't affect my kidney later on
