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?

I've just had a routine ultrasound and it turns out my left kidney is now just 7.5 cm, even though my right one seems to be normal. When I had a scan about five years ago, the left kidney was 10 cm. I also did a urine test that showed 100 mgdL of protein and my serum creatinine level is at 1.24. Should I be worried about this? Could this be Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?
While these findings could indicate early kidney issues, including CKD, its important to get a thorough evaluation from a nephrologist. They will be able to assess the underlying cause of the kidney size change, proteinuria, and creatinine elevation. With early intervention and appropriate treatment, kidney function can often be preserved, so dont delay in seeking specialized care.

Im looking at the results from a physical examination and Im a bit worried. It mentions a 'slight turbid' appearance and there's a 'faint trace' of protein in the chemical examination. The microscopic examination shows pus cells at 56 and red cells at 10-12, with epithelial cells marked as 23. Should I be concerned about these results? What could they indicate about my health?
The urine sample shows slight turbidity, with a faint trace of protein in the chemical examination. The microscopic examination reveals 5-6 pus cells, 10-12 red blood cells, and 2-3 epithelial cells, which may indicate mild urinary tract irritation or infection. Its important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate treatment.
