Question

I recently had a full body checkup, and the report showed a trace of protein in my urine, about 20 mgdL. I'm kind of worried because I read online that this could lead to kidney issues. Should I be concerned about this?

Question

What color is urine when your kidneys are failing?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been on dialysis for 10 years and was recently admitted to the hospital with a really bad lung infection. They tried some antibiotics like merotac and mucinac but those didnt seem to work. Then they sent his sputum culture to Hinduja hospital, and once they figured out the bacteria, they switched up his treatment. He was on Mikacin and Zonamax for a bit, and then they put him on Altitpod CV 200. He's doing a bit better now but his cough hasn't improved at all, and he still needs oxygen when he feels tired after walking a bit at home. I'm just wondering if you think the treatment he's getting is right and if there's anything we can do to help with his cough. Any advice you could offer would be great.
