I'm a bit worried about the medication my dad's been prescribed. He's got swelling in his feet, and the doctor recommended Dytor 5. But he's also dealing with sterile pyuria and a urinary tract infection, so he's on other meds for that. Now the doctor said to take Dytor 5 along with half a Cilacar 10 at night and Telma 40. I'm just not sure about these medication combinations. Is this safe to take, especially with his current UTI problems?

Question

I recently got my urine tested, and the results showed albumins present. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and suggest ways to reduce it?

My dad's been dealing with kidney disease for the past five years, and we're actively getting treatment. Right now, it seems like his kidney function is between 17 to 19 percent, and his creatinine level is at 5.1. I'm really worried and just wondering at what stage does he actually need to start dialysis, and realistically, how many more years might we be able to prolong his life?

Question

I'm kind of worried about my recent lab results. My creatinine level is 1.5, and the 24-hour urine protein is at 416 mg. The DMSA scan also showed some renal parenchymal dysfunction with cortical scars. Should I be concerned about these numbers, and what do they actually mean for my kidney health?
