Question 1

My father is at CKD stage 5. His creatinine level is 8.5. There is no swelling or urination problem. His hemoglobin is 12. He has been diabetic for the past 26 years and is 50 years old. He also has high blood pressure. The doctor has told us that his kidney has failed due to diabetes. Is there any hope for him except dialysis or a kidney transplant?

Question 2

Hi Sir/Madam, My grandmother has been admitted to the hospital with a creatinine level of 2.1 and a urinary tract infection. She is also diabetic. I would like to know if this condition can lead to dialysis, or if there is a chance that her creatinine levels can be brought down with treatment. If dialysis becomes necessary, how long would she need to continue it? Please guide us.

Question 3

The patient has a history of diabetes and hypertension, and her recent tests show creatinine of 5 mg/dL and blood urea of 165 mg/dL, suggesting possible end stage renal disease. While we plan to consult a nephrologist, could you please advise on dietary interventions that may help manage her blood profile and support kidney function?

My creatinine level has increased from 2.1 to 4.65 this month. I have been under treatment for the last four and a half years. Please suggest what should be done?
