I'm a 57-year-old Indian male who's been living and working in the Middle East for 31 years. I've been dealing with chronic kidney failure since 2000, with creatinine levels at 150220 umolL, which was stabilized using Diovan 80. I've also been diabetic since 2007. Recently, I had a heart attack, and they put a stent in my LAD with DES. I'm now on aspirin but I had to stop taking Diovan 80. I'm really worriedwill stopping Diovan 80 make my kidneys fail faster?

Medical abortion pills are typically approved for use up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, but repeated use within a short period increases risks.

  • Heavy bleeding
  • Infection
  • Uterine perforation
  • Incomplete abortion

I'm really worried about my daughter's health. She was born with just one kidney, and even though shes been sticking to strict diet and lifestyle changes, her creatinine levels are still going up. It's now at 2.3. Plus, she's dealing with high blood pressure. Currently, she's on Olmezest 40, Moxovas 0.3, and Folvite. What can we do to help manage her increasing creatinine levels and high BP? Looking for any advice or steps we can take.
