I've been diagnosed with IgA nephropathy and Im kind of worried about whats coming next. My creatinine levels jumped to 3.9 but are back down to 1.9 with the help of steroids. Im following a renal diet and keeping my salt intake under 5 grams. The steroids are being tapered off and should be stopped by the end of this month. I'm also on telmisartan and metoprolol for blood pressure control. My uric acid levels are at 8, which is higher than normal, but all my other minerals are looking good according to the prescription ranges. Can you give me some insight into what I might expect with this disease in the future and any advice on how I can keep things under control?

If your girlfriend is indeed pregnant, abortion is not the only option, but it's essential to consider it within the legal timeframe.
Other options, depending on your location and circumstances, may include:
Adoption: Allowing another family to adopt and raise the child. Parenting: Raising the child together as a couple. Emergency Contraception (EC): Not applicable in this case, as EC is effective only up to 72-120 hours after unprotected sex.
It's crucial to have an open and honest conversation with your girlfriend about your feelings, options, and decision.
Consult a healthcare provider or a trusted resource, like Planned Parenthood, for guidance and support.

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 was diagnosed with CKD last month and my creatinine was at 4.1. My doctor did a biopsy and mentioned that 820 glomeruli showed shrinking because of IgA. There's no swelling on my face or feet but I'm passing protein in my urine, no blood though. My blood pressure has been around 12585. I'm looking for a second opinion because I've been on medication for the past week but my creatinine has gone up to 7. My doctor still advises continuing with Omnacortil 40 and Sevcar. Is this the right approach, or should I be concerned about the increase in creatinine levels? Would really appreciate some guidance.
-It sounds like you've been diagnosed with CKD, with a creatinine level of 4.1 initially, which has risen to 7 despite starting treatment. The biopsy showed IgA-related damage, and you're on Omnacortil and Sevcar. Since your doctor recommends continuing t

I'm a bit anxious about my recent lab tests. I got both LFT and KFT done, and I'm really concerned about the creatinine and uric acid levels. My creatinine came back at 1.1, and my uric acid is at 7.2. I had chickenpox last December, so I'm wondering if those levels are okay or if I should be worried. What should I do next? I've attached my report for reference.
