Question 1

I'm really worried about my mom's health right now. She's been dealing with a urine infection and her creatinine levels got up to 6.62. Theyve come down to 5 in the last three months after treatment, but I'm still concerned. Her blood sugar is stable, but her hemoglobin has dropped to 7.1. She's been having 200ml of double toned milk and 50gm of chicken every day, along with other foods. I'm wondering if beans and peas are safe for her to eat. Also, I've heard about chamomile teado you think it might help lower her creatinine levels?

Question 2

I'm really worried about my father. He's 67 and has been dealing with diabetes for 25 years, which has now affected his kidneys. Back in October 2016, his creatinine level was at 2.92, and we were told he's got CKD. By December 2016, it climbed to 3.0, and in January 2017, it shot up to 4.77. He stopped eating and became really inactive, and we had to rush him to the hospital. Then on January 25th, his creatinine was 6.7, and just two days later, it jumped to 7.7, even with all the medications he's on.

His diabetes levels range between 130-200 for fasting and post-lunch, and they say it's under control. His blood pressure averages between 137 to 140 daily. Both ECG and 2Decho came out fine, but his hemoglobin is low at 8, and his potassium is at 4.2. Given these numbers, especially with his creatinine levels rising so quickly, I'm really anxious. What should we do next? Are there any specific treatments or precautions we need to consider to help manage his condition better?

Question 3
