I'm really worried about my friend who just donated a kidney. She's planning to get married soon, and I'm curious if this donation could cause any health issues for her later in life. Is there anything specific she should be aware of or prepared for as she moves forward?

I'm a bit concerned about some kidney issues I had after taking aceclofenac for a fever. My creatinine levels went up to 2.3, but they've come back down now. The thing is, whenever I don't drink enough water, I start to feel a slight pain again. Do you think this will go away with time, or should I see someone about it?

Yes it takes time to settle,get your renal function test done regularly, consume balanced diet and stay hydrated.
