have kidney failure.from ?? possibly? ## was taking naproxen ## Kidney damage, as well as damage to other organs, most notable the liver, is fairly common in anyone who uses these types of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories for long periods of time, especially if you regularly take or exceed the maximum recommended daily dose. Your doctor will have to keep close tabs on the condition of your kidneys from now on, watching for signs of worsening damage or complete failure, they will also not want you taking anymore of these types of medicine that could cause further damage, such as Acetaminopen (Tylenol) or Ibuprofen (Advil.)

I read on this website about an old kidney remedy that might be able to help my ankles, calf and feet swelling. Please, I don’t know what to do! The calf has black marks that my doctor thinks are clots, as my fingernail touched one after a shower and blood spurted out of it; and then after I cleaned it up, light pink fluid ran down my leg. The OTC med had 2 initials before the rest of the name! ## I am sorry, I don't know what medication you are asking about. Can anyone else that's familiar with it chime in? As to your issue, if your doctor thinks you are having clots, or some other issue, it would be best to follow their instructions for further testing, and take whatever medication they recommend. The FDA warns that not doing so could cause a clot to break loose, which m...

does it cause damage to your kidneys? ## NIfedipine is a calcium channel blocker, which is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. I am not finding anything that says it causes kidney damage, but there is no way to say how it can affect any given person that takes it. Have you discussed your concerns with your doctor? If you have existing kidney damage, the dosage does have to be carefully adjusted.

My doctor gave me Raneza 500mg. I am worried because I have stage 4 Kidney disease. I also have a dizziness problem. Recently I fainted and had to go to the emergency room. I have had this dizziness problem for more than a year but cannot find out why it's happening. I also have angina. Raneza has given me very bad constipation. I am very worried for my kidneys. ## Ranexa is most commonly used to treat chronic angina, its typical side effects may include nausea, headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and seizures, so it may have caused your fainting spell. How long have you been taking it? Unfortunately, this medication has also been known to cause kidney failure in some people that take it, though it isn't a common occurrence.
