Can a Physicisn damage the glomerulus while performing an operation? A few years back i was diagnosed with cushings syndrome. The tumor was in my right adrenal gland. They removed the whole adrenal gland. I was cured of the cushing syndrome but sometimes now my urine is quite frothy and especially in summer i get water retention in my feet. Do you think it would be wise for me to go back to my endochronologist?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
the kindeys are covered by capsule and perinephric fat. Glomerulus are deep inside to these structures. Performed correctly,shouldnt be a problem. Fact: A human can still function normally without one kidney and the other working at 1/3rd its capacity.
There is always a risk of slight injury, but not to a very severe extent. But if you're having significant frothy urine and water retention regularly, you should see a nephrologist. And yes, you should also see your endocrinologist for a follow up visit.
I wish you stay healthy and strong :)
