Question

Is my creatine level okay? I'm a bit concerned about my kidney health and wondering if everything's functioning well. Should I see a doctor for this?

I'm feeling a bit worried about my dad's latest blood test results. His SGPT is at 80, SGOT is 72, serum urea is 78, serum creatinine is 4.7, and bilirubin is 16.5. Are these numbers something to be concerned about? Does this indicate any serious issues or abnormal conditions we should be aware of?

Question

I was diagnosed with CKD last month and my creatinine was at 4.1. My doctor did a biopsy and mentioned that 820 glomeruli showed shrinking because of IgA. There's no swelling on my face or feet but I'm passing protein in my urine, no blood though. My blood pressure has been around 12585. I'm looking for a second opinion because I've been on medication for the past week but my creatinine has gone up to 7. My doctor still advises continuing with Omnacortil 40 and Sevcar. Is this the right approach, or should I be concerned about the increase in creatinine levels? Would really appreciate some guidance.
