You account of the disease was very helpful. My husband is 65 and is in the process of being diagnoised with a kidney problem. His Protine in his urine was 13.5 and he is very swollen in his legs and feet. They are doing a biopsy on his kidney on Friday. The doctor has stated the problem is either Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis or Membraneous Glomerulonephritis. I started noticing he was producing frothy urine about a month or so ago. His previous labs that he had 6 months ago were just fine. Then I noticed he was gaining weight rapidly. He went from 250 to 275 in about two weeks. The doctor feels it is all water weight. She gave him some Lasix but there hasn't been much of a change. He states his legs feel like a "tight skin on a drum". So, for now, we have to wait until Friday when he has the 4 hour biopsy. Did you have to wait a long time for the results or did they tell you right away? My husband has had the 24 hour urine test, the chest xray and the aditional blood tests already. I am very afraid for him because he also suffers from Type 2 Diabetes and high blood pressure. He is a smoker and has been for 40 years. I mentioned to him that this clean chest xray was a gift from God and that he should listen to Him and quit smoking immediately. He stated that he felt I was right and that he hasn't been acknowledging the more than a half dozen chest xrays that have been clear as God's word to him to take heed and stop. I asked him how long will you wait before you listen and obey? He stated that he is very scared and knows he has to quit now. I told him that God will help him quit if he askes Him to help and he said that he knows it will be hard but is ready to put all of it in God's hands now. I love him so much and don't want to lose him early. I have asked God to spare him his life and I believe He will do what He must. No mater what happens, I will remain by my husband's side and I will never stop trusting my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Were you pretty sore from your kidney biopsy? Thanks for listening.
