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 22 and I'm kind of worried about my kidney sizes. My right kidney is measuring 7932mm and the left one is at 8333mm. Is that normal, or should I be concerned?

-Yes, your kidney sizes are within the normal range for an adult. Kidneys typically measure 8-12 cm in length and 3-5 cm in width, so your measurements are fine for your age.
