I'm dealing with this swelling issue for the past couple of months, but lately, it's gotten worse. My face and legs have swollen up really bad, and it's so noticeable that I feel embarrassed to see my friends or colleagues. What can I do to fix this problem?

I'm a bit worried about my recent kidney function blood test results. I had it done yesterday, and I saw that my serum creatinine is 0.9 mgdl, BUN is at 10.16 mgdl, uric acid level is 2.7 mgdl, and calcium is 9.34 mgdl. What's got me concerned is that the uric acid level is below the normal range. Is this something I should be worried about or get treated? By the way, I only have my right kidney because I had a nephrectomy on my left kidney at birth. Any advice would be appreciated.

My dad's creatinine level is really high at 9.8 ml, and the doctor is recommending dialysis. Do you think we should go ahead with dialysis or are there any medicine treatments that could be effective instead?

Dialysis is advised to the patient since the creatinine level is too high than the normal . Also Physician opinion is advised.
