I'm really concerned because my left kidney is measuring 7.2 cm by 3.9 cm, and I'm experiencing a swollen face, dark facial color, and leg edema. Is this a dangerous situation, and is there any way to treat this permanently?

View allI'm really concerned about my health right now because my creatinine level is at 3.3 and my blood pressure is high at 120180. Is this something I should be worried about? Also, is there any way to improve kidney issues related to damage of cortical echotexture?
To decrease creatinine levels, it is important to manage underlying conditions that may be contributing to kidney damage. In your case, with a creatinine level of 3.3 and high blood pressure of 120180, it is concerning and may indicate kidney dysfunction. Controlling blood pressure is crucial in managing kidney function. You can take medications like Losartan at a dose of 50mg daily to help lower blood pressure and protect the kidneys. As for the kidney problem related to damage of Cortical echotexture, it is important to address the underlying cause of the damage. While it may not be possible to completely cure kidney damage, you can slow down the progression of the disease by following a renal-friendly diet, staying hydrated, and taking medications

I've noticed my creatinine level went up to 1.46 again, and my protein creatinine ratio is at 0.95. I'm taking Cap Neoral 100100, Azoran 75mg, Wysolone 5mg, Telma 40mg, Prolomet XL 25mg daily, and Inderal 20mg twice. Last month, I had a similar issue with my S.creatinine and creatinine protein ratio, and my doctor increased my dose of Wysolone to 30mg, which brought my creatinine down to 1.2. But now it's back up to 1.46 again. The doctor is suggesting I should go for a biopsy, and I'm kind of stressed about it. Do you think I should proceed with it? I'd really appreciate your advice.
