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.

Take a KFT with Electrolytes (Kidney Funtion) Test or Take a eGFR Test (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) Test

My father is at CKD stage 5. His creatinine level is 8.5. There is no swelling or urination problem. His hemoglobin is 12. He has been diabetic for the past 26 years and is 50 years old. He also has high blood pressure. The doctor has told us that his kidney has failed due to diabetes. Is there any hope for him except dialysis or a kidney transplant?

Recently, he had a problem where he was not able to urinate properly, but there was no pain. Creatinine level is 0.88 to 1.2, checked in different labs for repeatability. After consulting two different nephrology doctors, we are confused. One suggests normal kidney function, and the other suggests 20 percent kidney damage with a recommendation for Renosave medicine. We would like to know whether we need to take any medicine to prevent further kidney damage or if we should monitor eGFR to see any abnormality by creatinine level in blood tests? As per doctors suggestion, a DTPA test was conducted to examine kidney function. Following are the test report comments: There is abnormally increased circulating background tracer noted, suggestive of renal parenchymal dysfunction. Bilateral subnormally functioning kidneys without obstruction. Low normal limit of GFR for age greater than 70 ml/min. Kindly clarify and also suggest whether we need to take preventive medicine in this case or not to avoid any kidney damage?
