I've just had a routine ultrasound and it turns out my left kidney is now just 7.5 cm, even though my right one seems to be normal. When I had a scan about five years ago, the left kidney was 10 cm. I also did a urine test that showed 100 mgdL of protein and my serum creatinine level is at 1.24. Should I be worried about this? Could this be Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?
While these findings could indicate early kidney issues, including CKD, its important to get a thorough evaluation from a nephrologist. They will be able to assess the underlying cause of the kidney size change, proteinuria, and creatinine elevation. With early intervention and appropriate treatment, kidney function can often be preserved, so dont delay in seeking specialized care.

I'm really worried about my father. He's 67 and has been dealing with diabetes for 25 years, which has now affected his kidneys. Back in October 2016, his creatinine level was at 2.92, and we were told he's got CKD. By December 2016, it climbed to 3.0, and in January 2017, it shot up to 4.77. He stopped eating and became really inactive, and we had to rush him to the hospital. Then on January 25th, his creatinine was 6.7, and just two days later, it jumped to 7.7, even with all the medications he's on. His diabetes levels range between 130-200 for fasting and post-lunch, and they say it's under control. His blood pressure averages between 137 to 140 daily. Both ECG and 2Decho came out fine, but his hemoglobin is low at 8, and his potassium is at 4.2. Given these numbers, especially with his creatinine levels rising so quickly, I'm really anxious. What should we do next? Are there any specific treatments or precautions we need to consider to help manage his condition better?
Ideally he must be taken up for Dialysis to bring creatinine atleast less than 5 with good urine output and normal electrolytes,dont worry follow your doctors advice
