Gabapentin is primarily eliminated from the body through the kidneys, so a buildup can occur in individuals with impaired kidney function. This accumulation can lead to increased side effects or toxicity, but it does not directly cause kidney problems in healthy individuals. However, in those with existing kidney issues, monitoring and dosage adjustments are important to prevent complications. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice regarding medication use and kidney health.

Why are the kidney problems so serious?
Kidney problems are serious because the kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products, balancing electrolytes, and regulating blood pressure. When kidney function declines, toxins can build up in the body, leading to serious health complications such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and anemia. Additionally, advanced kidney disease can necessitate dialysis or transplantation, significantly impacting a person's quality of life. Early detection and management are crucial to preventing irreversible damage.

Your son was just diagnosed with kidney stones one on the way down.will he be in pain for a while or just while he actually passes it?
When the stone sits in the kidney, it rarely causes problems, but should it fall into the ureter, it acts like a dam. The kidney continues to function and make urine, which backs up behind the stone, stretching the kidney. This pressure build up causes the pain of a kidney stone, but it also helps push the stone along the course of the ureter. When the stone enters the bladder, the obstruction in the ureter is relieved and the symptoms, and pain, of a kidney stone are resolved.

In short, no. Lyrica (which is basically the same as Gabapentin), is being used for nueropathic pain, but does NOT contain an opiate. Thus it is not a "pain killer" like vicoden (hydrocodone) or percocet (oxycodone). It will also take a while to build up in your system before you may see results.
