I have less hunger and visited a consultant. My creatinine level is greater than 10. The size of my kidneys has decreased: right kidney 8.8 cm, left kidney 8.5 cm. Cortical echogenicity is raised in both kidneys. The pelvicalyceal system is normal in both kidneys. What does this indicate?

High creatinine, reduced kidney size, and raised echogenicity strongly indicate chronic kidney disease (CKD). Less hunger is also a common symptom. Consultation with a nephrologist is important for further evaluation and planning. Regular monitoring and supportive treatment can help slow progression.

The patient has a history of diabetes and hypertension, and her recent tests show creatinine of 5 mg/dL and blood urea of 165 mg/dL, suggesting possible end stage renal disease. While we plan to consult a nephrologist, could you please advise on dietary interventions that may help manage her blood profile and support kidney function?
