I'm a kidney transplant patient and I've been noticing my weight is going up every day. I'm currently on prednisolone 10 mg, cyclosporine, and mycept. Could you give me some advice on how to manage my weight better?

Question

I'm worried about my mom's perfusion index. It's always between 2.3 to 3.1. Should I be concerned? She's dealing with CKD, is on dialysis, and has multiple myeloma. She's 53. What should I keep an eye on with these health issues?

Question

I'm really worried because my dad just had some kidney tests, and his creatinine level came back at 1.7. The doctor told us he needs to be admitted right away for dialysis and treatment. Can you help me understand what this means and what we should be doing to handle it?

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?
