Creatine levels are around 10.05 and urea is at 222. Our doctor mentioned dialysis might be necessary, and we're planning to go ahead with it. Can you advise on the right diet? What types of fruits and vegetables would be suitable? Is it okay for him to eat white rice? I also heard barley water can be beneficial for the kidneys. Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.

Question

I'm really worried right now about my health. I've been checking my blood pressure every day for the past two weeks, and it's been around 190110 consistently. I'm already taking Telmisartan 40mg, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. On top of that, my creatinine level is 1.8, my potassium is high, urine protein is at 2484, and my albumin is 3.3. My vitamin B12 is really low at 82. Can you help me understand what all these numbers mean and what I should do next?

Question

I'm really worried because my blood creatinine level is 5.91mgdl and I've been told that both my kidneys have shrunk in size. I've got normal blood pressure and sugar levels, and I don't have any major diseases, but I've been feeling a lot of bone pain. The doctor mentioned that my kidney function is down to about 50% and gave me some medication to try for a month before deciding if I'll need dialysis. I'm really frustrated with all of this and would love some advice on what I should do next or if there's anything else I can try.

Question

I'm really worried because my dad's been having swelling in his face and legs ever since he recovered from COVID, and it's been going on for over a month now. During his treatment, he had to be given oxygen. The weird thing is, he isn't feeling any pain or anything else unusual in those areas. Could this be related to his COVID recovery, or might it be something different? What should we do next?
