I'm really concerned about my dad. He's been dealing with heart issues and diabetes for over four years, and now his latest checkup showed his creatinine levels are up. I'm curious if there are specific foods, maybe certain types of millet or anything else, that might help lower his creatinine. Also, I'm a bit confused about how much fluid he should actually be drinking.

I'm curious, is it normal to find traces of protein in a complete urine test when you have a fever? Can you explain if that's something to worry about?

Traces of protein in the urine means a small amount of protein ,which could be normal or due to urinary tract infection.But a larger amount of protein indicates serious disorders of kidneys. You could repeat the urine analysis after few days and if it shows presence of protein , you need to go through further tests.

My 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?

CTVS opinion advise.

I'm really worried about my father. He's 80 and has been having serious kidney problems. He hasn't had proper meals for about 4 months and is just on liquid foods now, so you can imagine how weak he's become. He's also got high blood pressure and issues with his lungs, liver, kidneys, and heart. He's struggling with passing urine and stools as well. We recently did an endoscopy, and the results weren't good at all; there were some abnormalities. His kidney problem has reached a stage 4. The doctors have given him meds like dytor10, isosorbide mononitrate, cardipin, czopressco 2.5, metaproxl 25, idiot 20, omeprazole, and ciploric 100. But he's not eating anything. I'm hoping you could suggest some diet tips or precautions I could take. Would it be okay to give him something like B protein powder or pomegranate juice?

All these are age related issues which lead to current scenario.its not possible to advice without clinical examination ,dont worry you are in right hands,follow your doctors advice
