Question 1

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.

Question 3

I'm really concerned about my kidney health since my serum creatinine levels recently went up from 1.6 to 2.2. After cutting out salt from my diet, the levels came down to 1.7. I'm looking for advice on medications that could help bring my creatinine down to around 1.3. I'm also managing diabetes, with an HbA1C of 8.2, and I've been on insulin Human mixtard with 35 units in the morning and 25 at night. My blood pressure is currently under control, but I would really appreciate any advice on medicines that could help with both my kidney and diabetes issues.

. I can understand your worry.. creatinine is measure of kidney function.. since you have diabetes and hypertension, both of which affects kidney if not controlled properly.. hba1c of 8.2 is not good control.. it's has to be below 7 then only it's good control.. have small frequent meals instead of three big meals, have more fibre rich diet, have green leafy vegetables, in fruits have guava, orange, avoid sapota, papaya, apple, banana.. reduce carbohydrates and fats.. for kidney disease, reduce salt intake and have low protein intake.. consult dietician for complete diet plan..

Is drinking a lot of water good for your kidneys?

Yes, water helps the kidneys remove wastes from your blood in the form of urine. Water also helps keep your blood vessels open so that blood can travel freely to your kidneys, and deliver essential nutrients to them.
