I'm really worried right now about my health. I've been checking my blood pressure every day for the past two weeks, and it's been around 190110 consistently. I'm already taking Telmisartan 40mg, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. On top of that, my creatinine level is 1.8, my potassium is high, urine protein is at 2484, and my albumin is 3.3. My vitamin B12 is really low at 82. Can you help me understand what all these numbers mean and what I should do next?

Typhoid and Malaria Co-Infection
Dark Yellow Urine
- Medication side effect: Certain medications, such as rifampicin (used to treat typhoid), can cause urine to turn orange or dark yellow.
- Dehydration: Inadequate fluid intake or excessive fluid loss due to fever, sweating, or diarrhea can cause concentrated, dark yellow urine.
- Liver function: Typhoid and malaria can affect liver function, leading to changes in urine color.
Concerns and Recommendations
- Consult your doctor: Inform your doctor about the dark yellow urine, as it may indicate dehydration or liver function changes.
- Increase fluid intake: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks.
- Monitor urine output and color: Keep track of your urine output and color to ensure you're staying hydrated and to detect any potential issues.
- Complete the treatment course: Continue taking your medications as prescribed, and complete the full treatment course to ensure effective management of typhoid and malaria.
- Follow-up appointments: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your progress, adjust treatment if needed, and address any concerns.

View allI'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.

I'm really concerned because my loved one has been diagnosed with pyelonephritis along with bilateral pleural effusion at Wockhardt Hospital on Mira Road. I'm wondering if we should seek a second opinion before starting any treatment. Do you think it's necessary to confirm the diagnosis with another doctor, or should we trust the findings and proceed with the treatment plan they've suggested? Any advice on how to handle this situation would be appreciated.
