I'm a bit concerned about some kidney issues I had after taking aceclofenac for a fever. My creatinine levels went up to 2.3, but they've come back down now. The thing is, whenever I don't drink enough water, I start to feel a slight pain again. Do you think this will go away with time, or should I see someone about it?

Yes it takes time to settle,get your renal function test done regularly, consume balanced diet and stay hydrated.

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.
