I'm a bit concerned about some kidney issues I had after taking aceclofenac for a fever. My creatinine levels went up to 2.3, but they've come back down now. The thing is, whenever I don't drink enough water, I start to feel a slight pain again. Do you think this will go away with time, or should I see someone about it?

My urinary microalbumin creatinine ratio test shows a microalbumin concentration of 76.43, urinary creatinine concentration of 19.31, and a microalbumin creatinine ratio of 395.80. I've been taking mucinac 600 tablets, but I haven't seen any improvement. How can I lower these levels?

Your microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio (395.80) indicates early signs of diabetic nephropathy; to reduce microalbuminuria, focus on tight blood sugar control, aiming for an HbA1c < 7%; also, consider the following: maintain optimal blood pressure control (

I'm really worried because my dad's been having swelling in his face and legs ever since he recovered from COVID, and it's been going on for over a month now. During his treatment, he had to be given oxygen. The weird thing is, he isn't feeling any pain or anything else unusual in those areas. Could this be related to his COVID recovery, or might it be something different? What should we do next?
