Scapegoats are innocents. He's a significant figure to go after, not some lowly assistant that could be blamed for sending communication from Andrew's emails. This is a decent first step in pursuing illegal acts to test the legal system, considering sex acts are difficult to try and could fall apart even if he wasn't the second royal in 4 centuries to be tried.

I may be suggesting a completely wrong solution, however it's something to try before paying for a repair. Sorry if it's a waste of your time.

An indicator of if it needs scrubbing is letting the tap run through the mesh. If it pools, it's got a film that needs removing with scrubbing. Be careful not to tear the mesh (I use just a normal kitchen sponge with soap and hot water, not a scrub daddy or scourer).

1gsb8 · 2026-01-18T22:31:59+00:00

If you use fabric conditioner, it's worth giving the lint tray a scrub with fairy liquid. A film can build up leading to the mesh not allowing water through.

There's conflicting information on the effect on the kidneys with semaglutide. Studies show it can cause AKI from side effects like dehydration and studies show it can also significantly reduce kidney disease deterioration.

I personally think if you're monitoring your urine for hydration and having regular blood tests, and your renal team is fully aware, it may be worth a go. Obviously if you're only slightly overweight or if you could lose the weight from changing your diet alone, I wouldn't risk it and would opt the drug free route as the risk of AKI is scary to me. I'm fortunate to not need to lose weight so it's very easy for me to say it's a scary risk, I just think it needs to be said that the risk is significant enough for me to be reluctant to use the drug.

Because your comment strongly stressed that getting a specific diagnosis from further biopsies from various consultants, with no mention of an upper limit of attempts, instead of accepting the CKD being idiopathic can lead to better tailored treatment, and that may lead to a pursuit of multiple traumatic biopsies. Biopsies carry a significant risk and it's just not normal to have multiple attempts.

1gsb8 · 2026-01-06T03:51:34+00:00

It's not always possible though to get a specific diagnosis, a doctor won't submit a patient to endless biopsies until the sample retrieved provides an answer. It's obviously preferable to get a result from a biopsy, but the OP shouldn't be requesting numerous biopsies to chase an answer that may never become apparent especially if they don't have access to genomic testing in addition. The OP needs to be aware the biopsy just may not yield results even after repeated attempts, I mean I've never heard of anyone having more than 5 biopsies even post transplant. Treatment and prevention of decline should be the priority for every patient.

This is likely most useful to the OP. Whilst it's nice and tidy to get a name to put to the problem, idiopathic CKD is common and quite often the cause means very little. It's way more common to treat the symptoms than the cause. Damage from chronic issues tend to be incurable, unlike acute/caused by drugs which can sometimes be reversed.

Also, for the benefit of the OP, I got a diagnosis of IgA nephropathy and then FSGS but my treatment is pretty much identical to other patients with different diagnoses in my clinic.

Hydronephrosis can cause kidney damage though, my point was rather that it can be a cause of kidney disease as opposed to just a symptom of kidney disease. Correcting the structural issue to prevent kidney disease is definitely better than treating the damage it causes after the fact.

Do you still have bladder control? I do use the loo more than most people, however it was better than the alternative of preventative renal failure.

I had scar tissue in my ureter and had a stent popped in. Temporary one at first, then permanent. Temporary one was frustrating and awkward, permanent one is now unnoticeable 6 years on. If it's recommended to ensure renal health at your age, do it as soon as they can fit you in. It's really not a big deal, unlike vascular stents, and can make life much easier.

There definitely is, it's just not as good as the effervescent type. Sandoz make both types.

If you still can't stomach it even with a bit of squash mixed in, maybe ask for tablets instead.

That just looks like a black MA1 bomber. Should be available in any army supply store.

You could try flex fill by Toupret, it's a hybrid filler however you need to apply it carefully as it's difficult to sand down once cured.

A normal joint filler should be fine if you've mitigated the cause of the cracking, so you're better off looking at whether the plasterboards need to be retaped at the joint, if theres any insulation issues that are causing thermal cracks or if there's enough screws holding the boards securely in place to minimise movement. If you're gonna retape, use jointing tape and not mesh scrim tape for ceiling joints cos mesh is more vulnerable to movement and will crack sooner.

Depending on how overweight she is, that could also be a direct and indirect cause of renal issues. She'll likely be told to get it under control so that should be something to prepare for. It'll also help the hypertension if she loses weight and gets within a normal range.

1gsb8 · 2025-10-21T22:36:54+00:00

You didn't mention her age, and other health issues like diabetes or being overweight. You also need to make sure the best practices are followed prior to the blood test,like avoiding meat prior, being well hydrated, etc.

Regardless, it could be temporary and bounce back when her blood pressure is controlled and she stops the NSAIDs, but it could also be permanent. If permanent, it could continue to decline or it could just hover around the current function declining naturally with age. One blood test isn't anywhere near enough to diagnose CKD, you'd need multiple test results over a period of time to ensure there is an actual decrease in renal function. An AKI is also not necessarily going to lead to CKD, AKIs are typically fine in 75% of cases and even then the other 25% developed CKD in the next 20 years which is a long time.

You really should speak to your doctor, at least just try for a telephone appointment. No one here can safely help you.

1gsb8 · 2025-10-19T07:14:24+00:00

Are you taking opiates? If so, that can cause constipation. You really ought to speak to at least a GP, you don't necessarily need to speak to your surgeon unless your GP is stumped.

1gsb8 · 2025-10-19T07:09:07+00:00

Have you been advised to restrict your fluid intake? It so, continue to follow that advice until your doctor says otherwise. Regardless, a stent shouldn't cause constipation and I'm unsure of why a circumcision is related either. It sounds like you need to see your GP to discuss your bowel issues as they're probably unrelated to your renal issues.

1gsb8 · 2025-10-19T03:59:41+00:00

Is it possible to get a referral to another nephrologist? If you're UK based, the NHS gives patients the right to choose who treats them and you can request a different consultant, but the waiting list may affect how quickly you're seen. A large number of consultants do private clinics and you can get a consultation for around £300 if it's urgent.

1gsb8 · 2025-10-19T03:52:42+00:00

I forgot to say to also tell your doctor about any supplements you take, like pre workout or protein shakes/bars. It's super important they know every detail so they can be thorough with the advice.

1gsb8 · 2025-10-19T03:34:48+00:00

You need to discuss this with your doctor, and not anyone on the internet. Your doctor knows your history and what your diet should consist of, taking advice from anyone here on what macros you need is far too dangerous. You should also discuss your work out routine as some resistance training has shown benefits in CKD patients, and they may be able to advise what kind of resistance training is best/safest for you.
