I'm kind of worried about my recent lab results. My creatinine level is 1.5, and the 24-hour urine protein is at 416 mg. The DMSA scan also showed some renal parenchymal dysfunction with cortical scars. Should I be concerned about these numbers, and what do they actually mean for my kidney health?

Your test results indicate chronic kidney disease (CKD) with impaired renal function (elevated creatinine), significant proteinuria (416 mg24h), and evidence of renal parenchymal damage with cortical scars on DMSA scan, warranting further evaluation and management by a nephrologist to slow disease progression.

View allMy father had a bypass surgery for his heart three years ago and has been doing well, but he also has kidney issues. He didn't get a checkup for two months and now his creatinine shot up from 1.6 to 8.6. Is 8.6 creatinine dangerous for someone with his heart condition? How did it increase so fast? Are there ways to lower it without surgery, and if surgery is needed, is it safe for him given his heart history?

I'm a bit concerned about my health lately as my recent blood tests showed a creatinine level of 1.19 and uric acid at 7.4. I'm not sure if these levels are worrisome. Could you please let me know what precautions I should take and where I should get these checked out?
Creatinine level of 1.19 and uric acid level of 7.4 are slightly above the normal range. To help lower your uric acid levels, you can take precautions such as avoiding purine-rich foods like organ meats, anchovies, and alcohol. Additionally, staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy weight can also help. For your creatinine level, it is important to stay hydrated and avoid excessive intake of protein. You can get these levels checked at a diagnostic center or a laboratory.
