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.

In my urine test, they found RBC 2530 hpf and Ive been having a really high fever ranging from 102 to 103.4 along with a terrible headache at the back of my head. Do you think the fever is causing the RBC in the urine or is it the other way around? Ive already seen two doctors. One asked for all blood and urine tests and the other suggested another urine test. Im currently taking Switch 200, Aceclofenac, and Paracitamol Alock P as prescribed, but Im still waiting for the results of the second urine test because of the holidays. Its been 5 days now and the fever just keeps coming back as soon as the meds wear off. Even the Paracetamol isnt really helping with the headache. Ibugesic Plus helps a bit, but only for about 5 hours. Nothing seems to work, any thoughts on what could be happening here?
Could indicate a possible urinary tract infection (UTI) or kidney infection. The fever is likely not directly caused by the RBC in your urine, but rather both symptoms may be due to an underlying infection. Since your symptoms are persisting and the fever returns when the effect of the medicine wears off, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. If the current treatment is not providing adequate relief, your doctor may need to reassess your condition and consider adjusting your medication regimen or ordering additional tests. It is crucial to complete the prescribed course of antibiotics and continue taking the medications as directed until you receive further guidance from your healthcare provider. In the meantime, make sure to stay well-hydrated, get plenty of rest, and monitor your symptoms closely. If your fever persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly.

Creatine levels are around 10.05 and urea is at 222. Our doctor mentioned dialysis might be necessary, and we're planning to go ahead with it. Can you advise on the right diet? What types of fruits and vegetables would be suitable? Is it okay for him to eat white rice? I also heard barley water can be beneficial for the kidneys. Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.
provide soft diet.
