I'm really concerned about my dad. He was suspected to have multiple myeloma, but his PET scan came back normal. Now he's losing a lot of protein through urine. His latest report shows 1260mg protein in 1750ml of urine over 24 hours. What could this mean, and what should we do next? We live in Thane West, 400607.

Given the high level of protein in your father's urine, its important to investigate the underlying cause further. A visit to a nephrologist and additional tests to assess kidney function and look for signs of kidney damage or systemic diseases will be crucial. I would also recommend that you closely monitor his condition and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I'm a 57-year-old Indian male who's been living and working in the Middle East for 31 years. I've been dealing with chronic kidney failure since 2000, with creatinine levels at 150220 umolL, which was stabilized using Diovan 80. I've also been diabetic since 2007. Recently, I had a heart attack, and they put a stent in my LAD with DES. I'm now on aspirin but I had to stop taking Diovan 80. I'm really worriedwill stopping Diovan 80 make my kidneys fail faster?
