Is my creatine level okay? I'm a bit concerned about my kidney health and wondering if everything's functioning well. Should I see a doctor for this?

View allI'm really worried because my dad's been having swelling in his face and legs ever since he recovered from COVID, and it's been going on for over a month now. During his treatment, he had to be given oxygen. The weird thing is, he isn't feeling any pain or anything else unusual in those areas. Could this be related to his COVID recovery, or might it be something different? What should we do next?

I'm currently on dialysis because my serum creatinine level is 8. I'm worried about my heart too since I've got an issue with my ejection fraction. Are there any meds or treatments that could help both my kidneys and heart? I'm also curious if there are any Ayurvedic options I could consider for renal and heart failure. Any tips or references would be really helpful!
For the treatment of heart failure and to improve ejection fraction, medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril or Lisinopril, beta-blockers like Carvedilol or Metoprolol, and aldosterone antagonists like Spironolactone can be beneficial. In addition, medications like Diuretics such as Furosemide may be prescribed to help reduce fluid buildup in the body. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for the appropriate dosage and monitoring. As for Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of renal and heart failure, it is important to note that Ayurvedic treatments should be used with caution and under the guidance of a qualified practitioner. Some Ayurvedic herbs that are traditionally used for renal health include Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) and Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris). For heart health, Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna) is commonly used in Ayurveda. However, please consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for the proper formulation and dosage tailored to your specific condition.

I'm dealing with CKD and my creatinine levels have gone up from 2.4 to 2.8 recently. I'm really worried about what this means and what I can do to manage it. Plus, for the past few days, I've been having this really annoying itching all over my body. It's driving me nuts. Do you have any ideas on what's going on or what might help? I'm really looking for some advice.
Height is largely determined by genetics, but lifestyle factors can influence growth during adolescence and early adulthood. To promote natural growth: 1. *Proper Nutrition*: Ensure adequate calcium, vitamin D, and protein intake. 2. *Exercise Regularly*: Engage in activities that promote growth, such as swimming, cycling, and stretching. 3. *Maintain Good Posture*: Proper posture can make you appear taller. 4. *Get Enough Sleep*: Adequate sleep (7-9 hours) helps regulate growth hormones. 5. *Manage Stress*: High stress levels can negatively impact growth. Consider consulting a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian to create a personalized growth-promoting plan. Keep in mind that after a certain age (usually around 18-25), growth plates close, and significant height increases are unlikely.
