I'm really worried about my dad. His creatinine serum levels have gone up to 6.08, and he's been on Ayurvedic medicine for about a year now, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Can you offer any advice or suggestions on what we should do next? We're really concerned and not sure where to turn.

High creatinine levels indicate a problem with kidney function. In this case, it is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and management. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare provider are essential in managing kidney issues.

Question

I'm a bit worried as I've been told that both my kidneys are small and show increased echogenicity. The left kidney measures 74x42mm and the right one is 76x46mm. What does this mean for my kidney health? Should I be concerned about these sizes and echogenicity levels? What steps should I take next?

Question

I'm 22 and was born with just one kidney. Lately, I've had high blood pressure and my serum creatinine has also gone up. It started at 1.9, then 2.24 after a few days, and on the day of my biopsy, it was 2.34. My eGFR is 40.8. After six days, my serum creatinine was 2.42 and potassium was 3.8. My doctor has put me on BP meds, defocord, and calcium tablets, and wants me to come back in a week. But Im worried. Is there hope for my serum creatinine to return to normal? Do you think Ill be okay again? How come I didnt notice any symptoms from the high BP and creatinine levels?
