I'm really worried about my mom's health right now. She's been dealing with a urine infection and her creatinine levels got up to 6.62. Theyve come down to 5 in the last three months after treatment, but I'm still concerned. Her blood sugar is stable, but her hemoglobin has dropped to 7.1. She's been having 200ml of double toned milk and 50gm of chicken every day, along with other foods. I'm wondering if beans and peas are safe for her to eat. Also, I've heard about chamomile teado you think it might help lower her creatinine levels?

My wife has albumin in her urine along with a UTI. There isn't any sugar showing up in her urine, but she does have a history of diabetes. Should I be concerned and check her diabetes levels?

Albumin in the urine can be a sign of kidney damage, especially in the presence of a urinary tract infection (UTI). Since your wife has a history of diabetes, it is important to monitor her blood sugar levels regularly. I recommend checking her blood sugar levels and consulting with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action. In the meantime, she can take antibiotics for the UTI and ensure proper hydration.
