It may affect your whole body or be limited to a specific area â usually your back or arms. Itching tends to affects both sides of the body at the same time and may feel internal, like a crawling feeling just below the skin.

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 dealing with CKD and my creatinine levels have gone up from 2.4 to 2.8 recently. I'm really worried about what this means and what I can do to manage it. Plus, for the past few days, I've been having this really annoying itching all over my body. It's driving me nuts. Do you have any ideas on what's going on or what might help? I'm really looking for some advice.

Question

I'm a patient of Dr. K C Kedia and I've been having some trouble reaching him. I've got a few issues going onmy creatinine level is at 3.56, I'm diabetic, and I have COPD. Lately, I've been having a hard time breathing because of a persistent cough. I've tried using Duolin and Budecort nebulizers twice, but they haven't really helped. Plus, my legs and hands have started swelling up. I'm taking Dytor 10 in the morning and 5 in the evening for that. I'm wondering if there's any antibiotic medicine you could recommend that might bring me some relief? Also, my doctor vaccinated me for influenza pneumonia.
