View allMy mom is 65 and her recent tests show EGFR 76 with creatinine at 0.93 mg/dl she's been diagnosed with CKD stage 2. Is treatment necessary at this point or is it okay to just monitor? Should we see a nephrologist now or wait? Also, she's scheduled for gallstone surgery next month is it safe for her to go ahead with the procedure given her kidney condition?
For a 65-year-old with stage 2 CKD (eGFR 76, creatinine 0.93 mg/dL), monitoring and lifestyle modifications are likely the initial approach, while a nephrologist consultation is recommended, not necessarily immediately, but within the next few months to assess the underlying cause and discuss long-term management options. The gallstone surgery is generally safe if properly managed, especially if the surgeon is aware of the kidney condition.

I'm 22 and I'm kind of worried about my kidney sizes. My right kidney is measuring 7932mm and the left one is at 8333mm. Is that normal, or should I be concerned?
-Yes, your kidney sizes are within the normal range for an adult. Kidneys typically measure 8-12 cm in length and 3-5 cm in width, so your measurements are fine for your age.
