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.

Given the high level of protein in your father's urine, its important to investigate the underlying cause further. A visit to a nephrologist and additional tests to assess kidney function and look for signs of kidney damage or systemic diseases will be crucial. I would also recommend that you closely monitor his condition and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I've recently gotten my serum creatinine level checked, and it's at 1.13. Is this something to be worried about, or is it normal? I got these results last week, and I'm feeling a bit anxious. Could you please help me understand if there's anything I should be concerned about?

Your serum creatinine level of 1.13 mgdL is within the normal range for adults. The normal range for serum creatinine is approximately 0.6 to 1.3 mgdL for males and 0.5 to 1.1 mgdL for females. It is an important indicator of kidney function. To maintain healthy kidney function, it is important to stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and avoid excessive intake of medications that can harm the kidneys. If you have any concerns about your kidney health, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
