Could Distortion Of Kidney Shown On CT Scan Be The Cause Of Diarrhea?

I have had diarrhea for 8 weeks, lost about 30 pounds. Started with prep for colonostomy. Had colonostomy, endoscopy, chest x-ray, CT scan of chest, CT scan of abdomen and pelvis, numerous blood, urine and stool tests, all negative except for a distortion of one kidney. 63 year old female smoker.

Hi,

Thanks for writing to HCM.

No, kidney distortion does not causes diarrhea... its due to the bowel infection following your scopies....take a course of antibiotics like metronidazole and preprobiotics... you will be fine...
