Re: Belly getting bigger everyday - worried

Archus;

Hello, I'm a in school for nursing and I work with nurses in the SICU, so I'm learning a lot of things in regards to certain types ofsickness. Your comments really concerned me because I know your problem of having a cyst on your kidney seemed to be bigger than just it being that. And from the past people with large stomachs who ened up in our ICU usually have more things going on, so just to be sure before writng anything I mentioned it to one of the nurses at work who is an RN about the stomach thing and she told me (as I had suspected) that your problem could be due to a liver problem. Especially since you said your stomach is getting bigger. I would have thought even gas but usually if there is gas present you would know because of bloating and passing gas. And as far as your cyst goes if it were to burst it would be very, very painful and could poison your kidneys. To be on the safe side go to the doctor. Usually people with liver problems have a change in the skin and eyes. And if you are drinking I would stop that definitely and see a doctor about this before consuming any more alcohol. And you should try to drink plenty of water for your kidneys, God bless.
