I'm a bit worried about the medication my dad's been prescribed. He's got swelling in his feet, and the doctor recommended Dytor 5. But he's also dealing with sterile pyuria and a urinary tract infection, so he's on other meds for that. Now the doctor said to take Dytor 5 along with half a Cilacar 10 at night and Telma 40. I'm just not sure about these medication combinations. Is this safe to take, especially with his current UTI problems?

View allI'm really worried about my current health situation. My creatinine level is 3.6 and my eGFR is 19. Is there any way to lower my creatinine or at least stop it from going higher? I've heard about Ketosterilwould it be safe or effective for me to take it to help with my creatinine levels?

I recently found out that there's protein mixed with my urine for 4 days and it got me really worried. Could this be a sign of something serious like kidney failure?
TSH fluctuation can be puzzling. _TSH Interpretation:_ 1. Initial TSH: 23 (elevated) 2. Mid-treatment TSH: 8.4 (improved) 3. Post-treatment TSH: 23 (elevated again) _Possible Reasons for Rebound:_ 1. Homeopathic medicine (B56 drops) effectiveness wore off. 2. Underlying thyroid issue persists. 3. Dosage or duration inadequate. 4. Other health factors influencing TSH. _Considerations:_ 1. Thyroid hormone resistance. 2. Pituitary gland dysfunction. 3. Autoimmune thyroiditis (e.g., Hashimoto's). 4. Iodine deficiency. _Next Steps:_ 1. Consult an endocrinologist or thyroid specialist. 2. Re-evaluate thyroid hormone levels (Free T3, Free T4, TSH). 3. Consider conventional thyroid medication (e.g., levothyroxine). 4. Explore lifestyle changes: - Diet (iodine-rich foods) - Exercise - Stress management - Sleep hygiene _Homeopathic Medicine Limitations:_ 1. Variable efficacy. 2. Lack of standardization. 3. Potential interactions with conventional medications. _Conventional Treatment Options:_ 1. Levothyroxine (T4) 2. Liothyronine (T3) 3. Combination therapy (T4 + T3) _Monitoring:_ Regular TSH and thyroid hormone level checks. _Resources:_ 1. American Thyroid Association (ATA) 2. Endocrine Society 3. Mayo Clinic Hypothyroidism 4.

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.
