I'm worried about my mom's perfusion index. It's always between 2.3 to 3.1. Should I be concerned? She's dealing with CKD, is on dialysis, and has multiple myeloma. She's 53. What should I keep an eye on with these health issues?

View allMy 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.

I'm a bit worried about my recent kidney function blood test results. I had it done yesterday, and I saw that my serum creatinine is 0.9 mgdl, BUN is at 10.16 mgdl, uric acid level is 2.7 mgdl, and calcium is 9.34 mgdl. What's got me concerned is that the uric acid level is below the normal range. Is this something I should be worried about or get treated? By the way, I only have my right kidney because I had a nephrectomy on my left kidney at birth. Any advice would be appreciated.

Is drinking a lot of water good for your kidneys?
Yes, water helps the kidneys remove wastes from your blood in the form of urine. Water also helps keep your blood vessels open so that blood can travel freely to your kidneys, and deliver essential nutrients to them.
