View allI'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

How does diabetes affect the kidneys?
With time, raised blood sugar can damage blood vessels in the kidneys as well as nephrons making them not work as well as they should. Many people with diabetes also develop high blood pressure, which can damage kidneys too.

I'm really concerned about my health right now because my creatinine level is at 3.3 and my blood pressure is high at 120180. Is this something I should be worried about? Also, is there any way to improve kidney issues related to damage of cortical echotexture?
To decrease creatinine levels, it is important to manage underlying conditions that may be contributing to kidney damage. In your case, with a creatinine level of 3.3 and high blood pressure of 120180, it is concerning and may indicate kidney dysfunction. Controlling blood pressure is crucial in managing kidney function. You can take medications like Losartan at a dose of 50mg daily to help lower blood pressure and protect the kidneys. As for the kidney problem related to damage of Cortical echotexture, it is important to address the underlying cause of the damage. While it may not be possible to completely cure kidney damage, you can slow down the progression of the disease by following a renal-friendly diet, staying hydrated, and taking medications
