You can check for any change in color and/or amount of urine, presence of any foam, blood in urine, pain while urination, swelling in legs or face, fever. Also, you can get checked with basic tests like RFT and CUE. It is suggestable to consult a doctor if you observe any changes and get treated accordingly.

Question

I'm really worried about my mom's health right now. She's been dealing with a urine infection and her creatinine levels got up to 6.62. Theyve come down to 5 in the last three months after treatment, but I'm still concerned. Her blood sugar is stable, but her hemoglobin has dropped to 7.1. She's been having 200ml of double toned milk and 50gm of chicken every day, along with other foods. I'm wondering if beans and peas are safe for her to eat. Also, I've heard about chamomile teado you think it might help lower her creatinine levels?
