Freddonance: Makes sense. My initial thought was renal but I read the op saying that the SEUCr was essentially normal or maybe I am mistaken. Secondly, he has been taking frusemide and lisinopril to no avail. Surely the doctor who saw must have entertained either a renal or a cardiac problem and yet the problem remains unresolved. Another strange thing is that this has lasted a year. I would think that if this were to be truly a renal or cardiac problem, the brother will be bed ridden by now or worse. His being relatively stable provokes another differential albeit uncommon. All in all, a good history, physical examination and investigation will solve this mystery. Besides the renal and cardiac pathologies, hypothyroidism remains a strong differential. Would have added cushing syn to the list especially if he has been abusing steroids but that will come later after the above have been ruled out. Sadly, there isn't much we can do for the op from our ends except to councel that he takes his brother to a good facility, preferably a tertiary institution and not some private clinic. 3 Likes |

How peeps come to conclusion based on appearance baffle me? Please get a lab test, blood test, BUN, CBC, Creatinine , troponin liver enzymes test, GI test, gall bladder test , and other test that can rule out if the Liver , heart , kidney is healthy or not . Ask if he still make urine and go to respectable hospital in Nigeria , see a respectable doctor who is knowledgeable, not the quack one. Lab test and adequate diagnostic test can eliminate guess work and can pinpoint what is going with your brother. It could be acute Heart disease or Acute kidney disease or Cushing syndrome , I do not know. Limit salt intake , fluid restriction and go see a doctor ASAP |

Has he scammed anyone? Let him make confession. The scam may either be financial or emotional with a lady. This should be investigated before deliverance. |

cooltola: What do u mean by acute when a symptom has lasted for up to 1 yr? I've never heard of acute heart disease throughout my medical school and acute kidney disease doesn't present like this He doesn't need all those investigations if u know what u are doing 1 Like |
Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by peacettw: 12:34am On Oct 08, 2021 |
Stan2330: Well done. Renal/Cardiac related causes tops the list of course but it's always nice to remember that there are other differentials that can lead to this as well |
Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by itsmayiela(m): 12:39am On Oct 08, 2021 |
This is not nice at all. Just as others have stated, I suspect kidney disease. Stop all salt intake. Only warm water in the morning. No sodas. No analgesics. No point asking if he was into tramadol or codeine. Remedy is what we should seek now. He will be fine but he must adhere strictly to prescriptions. Lastly, money go die here. |

Truvelisback: bigcasava1: Thjese ones aare the real problem of Nigera. Instead of you to advice him to go to hospital, you are saying crap. People will waste valuable time going to charlatans until the sickness has gotten to terrible level. |
Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by Kingisibor: 12:45am On Oct 08, 2021 |
As Doctors are dishing out prescriptions and advices, please do not forget traditional ways as well..... Cos in my home town in Ekpoma, ukpenu-neka, Edo state, whenn we start seeing these signs it's a sign that the man has slept with a married woman that her bride price has been paid.. ------------------------------------------------------WAY OUT IF IT IS ON THE TRADITIONAL END. the woman wore a black clothes with some substances on her hand which includes EPO OBÔ &Walk through the whole village for about 7days, if this not done same thing will happened to her ( swollen body until she go busted on her own) 2.. the man has to make confessions and seek forgiveness from the man and also go to osu-lèlé a river of purpose to wash himself. |
Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by pluto3(m): 12:45am On Oct 08, 2021 |
have your brother tell us all his symptoms and signs noticed by people and his doctors. he should also do LIVER FUNCTION TEST, ELECTROLYTES, UREA AND CREATININE, AS WELL AS ROUTINE BLOOD WORK (CBC/WBC) if possible he should have a CXR and Abdominal Ultrasound Scan to visualize the Kidneys.... then we will talk |

Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by Ripakurshon: 12:47am On Oct 08, 2021 |
Holy Smoke, I am going to say this from Experience, I am not a doctor though, and neither is this a medical advice. I think that is Edema, Minimal change disease. That’s when the Kidney is pushing out protein that should be helping the body. It usually comes through pee… Abeg, you guys should go and see a doctor fast before it gets worse…. My 8 years old son has been going through this since 2017. Thank god we live in Canada and there is better healthcare here. Trust me, like someone said, you guys should start saving up….that’s most def a kidney or heart issue. |

Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by realray(m): 12:51am On Oct 08, 2021 |

Please doctors in the house, solutions!!!!! |
Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by SpyChild: 1:03am On Oct 08, 2021 |
needhelp909: He should go on YouTube and follow people like dr Jason fung, dr Eric berg and there’s a lady called Katherine that specializes on kidney issues. Whatever the case maybe, I think he should start with his diet…I would have recommended some basic tips that will help but I know there are lots of doubting thomases here that will start countering and discouraging you guys so I won’t do that here. If you are interested in the tips, dm me… it very easy and won’t even cost you a dime. Your brother will be better by God’s grace if he can do what’s recommended. |
Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by ebner70(m): 1:05am On Oct 08, 2021 |
I suspect heart failure but KIV chronic renal disease, take him to a specialist asap |
Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by 27Pushing30: 1:16am On Oct 08, 2021 |
Liver or kidney issues |
Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by AABBIIMM(m): 1:30am On Oct 08, 2021 |
needhelp909:So sorry to hear your brother passing through this condition. However, there's always hope. From all you've stated and looking at the symptoms, it's possibly a hormonal disorder, whilst not ruling our renal abnormalities. This is what you should do; Go to a standard laboratory and order the following test ASAP. FULL BLOOD COUNT RENAL FUNCTION TEST LIVER FUNCTION TEST THYROID FUNCTION TEST (TSH, T3, T4) TOTAL PROTEIN TEST. And if you've done some of those tests then you don't need to do them again, just do the ones you are yet to do. It could be autoimmune hormonal disorder. SYNLAB is a good place to get it done cheaper and faster. You can reach my mail after you've gotten the test results and we'll take it up from there. In the meantime, you can send me the test results you've done so far and I'll be glad to follow up. Wish you the best. |

Please fly him to Turkey for proper care. As many have said, based on the medication, he has kidney and/or heart disease. His blood pressure will get worse without proper treatment. He may ultimately have a stroke or multiorgan failure. Please do not blame any fetish practices. He needs real medical care as soon as possible |
Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by ojonugba2014(m): 1:40am On Oct 08, 2021 |
This thing na kidney failure oo |
Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by AABBIIMM(m): 1:41am On Oct 08, 2021 |
AABBIIMM:Lest I forget, if you haven't done Electrolyte test, Urea test and Creatinine tests then please do to have a concrete confirmatory test. But I know it bothers on renal or thyroid challenges. |
