I'm really concerned about my dad. He's been dealing with heart issues and diabetes for over four years, and now his latest checkup showed his creatinine levels are up. I'm curious if there are specific foods, maybe certain types of millet or anything else, that might help lower his creatinine. Also, I'm a bit confused about how much fluid he should actually be drinking.

History is not sufficient to advice,visit Cardiologist for appropriate support

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.

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.
