I'm really worried about my dad. He's got this kidney issue, diagnosed with CKD, and though he's stable now, today he mentioned he's having trouble urinating and the amount has decreased. I was wondering if giving him Urispas would help with his urination. Do you think it's okay to give him that?

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?

Creatinine level of 1.7 indicates impaired kidney function. Dialysis is a common treatment for kidney failure to help remove waste and excess fluid from the blood. Your father may need regular dialysis sessions to support his kidney function. In addition to dialysis, medications such as Furosemide and Erythropoietin may be prescribed to manage symptoms and improve kidney function. It is important for your father to follow a low-salt diet, stay hydrated, and attend regular medical check-ups. Follow your doctor's advice closely for the best outcome.

Is lemon good to reduce creatinine?

Lemon should not increase Uric acid level and should not increase the serum creatinine level. It will increase citrate elimination in the urine which can decrease the rate of kidney stone formation.
