I'm 22 and was born with just one kidney. Lately, I've had high blood pressure and my serum creatinine has also gone up. It started at 1.9, then 2.24 after a few days, and on the day of my biopsy, it was 2.34. My eGFR is 40.8. After six days, my serum creatinine was 2.42 and potassium was 3.8. My doctor has put me on BP meds, defocord, and calcium tablets, and wants me to come back in a week. But Im worried. Is there hope for my serum creatinine to return to normal? Do you think Ill be okay again? How come I didnt notice any symptoms from the high BP and creatinine levels?

It's understandable to feel concerned, but with proper treatment, such as BP control, medications, and monitoring, it's possible to manage your condition and prevent further damage. The goal is to stabilize your kidney function and improve your overall health. Many people with high BP and creatinine don't experience noticeable symptoms, so it's important to keep regular check-ups to catch any changes early. Your doctor will guide you through the next steps for optimal care.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been on dialysis for 10 years and was recently admitted to the hospital with a really bad lung infection. They tried some antibiotics like merotac and mucinac but those didnt seem to work. Then they sent his sputum culture to Hinduja hospital, and once they figured out the bacteria, they switched up his treatment. He was on Mikacin and Zonamax for a bit, and then they put him on Altitpod CV 200. He's doing a bit better now but his cough hasn't improved at all, and he still needs oxygen when he feels tired after walking a bit at home. I'm just wondering if you think the treatment he's getting is right and if there's anything we can do to help with his cough. Any advice you could offer would be great.

Probable diagnosis is upper respiratory tract infection.Patient is advised tab augmentin duo 625mg thrice daily, for 5 days, tab pan d,orally once daily for 14 days ,syrup sucralfate 10ml thrice daily for 14 days.Also avoid spicy and hot items is advised to the patient.
