I recently had a full body checkup, and the report showed a trace of protein in my urine, about 20 mgdL. I'm kind of worried because I read online that this could lead to kidney issues. Should I be concerned about this?

View allI've just turned 27 and was diagnosed with high blood pressure about a year ago. I'm currently taking Telma and Prazopress. I recently read online that having high BP might increase the chances of developing kidney issues later on. Can you guide me on how I might prevent this from happening?
Your father's blood pressure reading of 17080 is not normal, especially considering his history of diabetes. Normally, people with diabetes should have a blood pressure of no more than 13080 . The sudden spike in blood pressure could be a cause for concern. I recommend that you consult with your father's doctor immediately to determine the cause of this sudden increase. In the meantime, here are some general tips that may help your father manage his blood pressure: - *Monitor blood pressure regularly*: Keep track of your father's blood pressure readings to identify any patterns or changes. - *Follow a healthy diet*: Encourage your father to eat a balanced diet that is low in salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats. - *Stay hydrated*: Make sure your father drinks plenty of water throughout the day. - *Manage stress*: Stress can exacerbate high blood pressure. Encourage your father to engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.

I'm really worried about my friend who just donated a kidney. She's planning to get married soon, and I'm curious if this donation could cause any health issues for her later in life. Is there anything specific she should be aware of or prepared for as she moves forward?
Not exactly human can survive on single kidney as well unless if she gets any comobid ailments mere kidney donation is not huge problem

My dad's been dealing with kidney disease for the past five years, and we're actively getting treatment. Right now, it seems like his kidney function is between 17 to 19 percent, and his creatinine level is at 5.1. I'm really worried and just wondering at what stage does he actually need to start dialysis, and realistically, how many more years might we be able to prolong his life?
Dialysis will be needed at any point of time once the percentage of kidney function is below 15%. How well a person does on dialysis depends on how well heshe prepares for it. Your patient should get an AV fistula as soon as possible so that dialysis can be initiated in a stress free environment. People can survive on dialysis for years and even decades of proper care is taken.
