Question

I'm really concerned about my dad. He was suspected to have multiple myeloma, but his PET scan came back normal. Now he's losing a lot of protein through urine. His latest report shows 1260mg protein in 1750ml of urine over 24 hours. What could this mean, and what should we do next? We live in Thane West, 400607.

Question

Im looking at the results from a physical examination and Im a bit worried. It mentions a 'slight turbid' appearance and there's a 'faint trace' of protein in the chemical examination. The microscopic examination shows pus cells at 56 and red cells at 10-12, with epithelial cells marked as 23. Should I be concerned about these results? What could they indicate about my health?

Question

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.
