I was diagnosed with CKD last month and my creatinine was at 4.1. My doctor did a biopsy and mentioned that 820 glomeruli showed shrinking because of IgA. There's no swelling on my face or feet but I'm passing protein in my urine, no blood though. My blood pressure has been around 12585. I'm looking for a second opinion because I've been on medication for the past week but my creatinine has gone up to 7. My doctor still advises continuing with Omnacortil 40 and Sevcar. Is this the right approach, or should I be concerned about the increase in creatinine levels? Would really appreciate some guidance.

-It sounds like you've been diagnosed with CKD, with a creatinine level of 4.1 initially, which has risen to 7 despite starting treatment. The biopsy showed IgA-related damage, and you're on Omnacortil and Sevcar. Since your doctor recommends continuing tLast updated on 23 Jan 2025
