Question 1

I've been diagnosed with IgA nephropathy and Im kind of worried about whats coming next. My creatinine levels jumped to 3.9 but are back down to 1.9 with the help of steroids. Im following a renal diet and keeping my salt intake under 5 grams. The steroids are being tapered off and should be stopped by the end of this month. I'm also on telmisartan and metoprolol for blood pressure control. My uric acid levels are at 8, which is higher than normal, but all my other minerals are looking good according to the prescription ranges. Can you give me some insight into what I might expect with this disease in the future and any advice on how I can keep things under control?

Accepted Answer

If your girlfriend is indeed pregnant, abortion is not the only option, but it's essential to consider it within the legal timeframe.

Other options, depending on your location and circumstances, may include:

Adoption: Allowing another family to adopt and raise the child.
Parenting: Raising the child together as a couple.
Emergency Contraception (EC): Not applicable in this case, as EC is effective only up to 72-120 hours after unprotected sex.

It's crucial to have an open and honest conversation with your girlfriend about your feelings, options, and decision.

Consult a healthcare provider or a trusted resource, like Planned Parenthood, for guidance and support.

Question 2

I've been diagnosed with albumin in my urine, and I also have diabetes and high blood pressure. My blood urea and creatinine levels are at 1.2 and 40, respectively. Are these levels risky, and what steps should I take next?

Accepted Answer

In conclusion, albumin in urine is an early sign that should not be ignored, especially if you're already dealing with diabetes and high blood pressure. However, since your kidney function tests are still normal, this is a good sign, and with proper management, the risk of kidney damage can be minimized.
