I've been having some kidney issues and though I'm not sure exactly what's going on, my doctor mentioned theres a problem. I'm thinking about adding flax seeds to my diet. Are they safe for anyone dealing with kidney problems? I'm really curious to know more.

Your symptoms suggest Phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract.

Consult a urologist or dermatologist for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

Treatment options may include topical steroid creams, manual stretching exercises, or surgical procedures.

Your doctor will recommend the best course of treatment based on the severity of your condition.

In the meantime, avoid forcing the foreskin back, as this can cause further irritation and pain.

Seek medical attention to alleviate your symptoms and prevent potential complications.

I'm really worried about my father, he's 64 and his doctor suggested dialysis. His potassium level is 4.1. I'm just not sure if he really needs it right now. What do you think I should do?

Dialysis is usually recommended for patients with severe kidney disease or kidney failure. In this case, since the potassium level is 4.1, which is within the normal range (3.5-5.0 mmolL), dialysis may not be immediately necessary based on this information alone. However, the decision to start dialysis depends on various factors such as the overall kidney function, symptoms, and other laboratory values. It is important to follow up with the doctor who recommended dialysis to discuss the specific reasons for the recommendation and to understand the overall management plan for the kidney condition.

Is lemon good to reduce creatinine?

Lemon should not increase Uric acid level and should not increase the serum creatinine level. It will increase citrate elimination in the urine which can decrease the rate of kidney stone formation.
