Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Leah, No, I think your okay! ) It is just interesting to see that information though. Hasn't there been talk about this before? I swear I have heard about people asking if kidney problems and RSS are correlated??? For some reason, I have had in the back of my mind to have a check of 's kidneys. Who would do that anyway??? I remember the intestines thing and the kidney thing for some reason. Anyway, it is good to know about these things so that we can have our kids checked and put our minds to ease. Thanks for your time in looking into this.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Leah ... don't worry I'm not panicking but you did give me something to think about and I will be discussing this with our ped. The symptoms of the Ketosis ... decreased hunger, less carbs part ... if that is happening and it's the spilling of the ketones then the only thing to get them past is the IV right. I think that I should definately get some of the sticks and be checking Noah. It's so hard to tell otherwise if this may be the cause of less eating or if it's just a thing like all kids have where one day they eat you out of house and home and the next not. Thanks for the info and I'll be checking further into this too.

Thanks for the info and please feel free to share in the future! - H > > > Hello all, > > I've been seeing a few threads here on kidneys latley and thought > I'd do a bit of looking into it since Olivia's recent bout with the > flu and spilling ketones. > > Now granted I've only started looking this up there seems to be a > direct correlation between severe ketoacidosis and some kidney > problems.
