My dad's creatinine level is really high at 9.8 ml, and the doctor is recommending dialysis. Do you think we should go ahead with dialysis or are there any medicine treatments that could be effective instead?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Dialysis is advised to the patient since the creatinine level is too high than the normal . Also Physician opinion is advised.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my health lately as my recent blood tests showed a creatinine level of 1.19 and uric acid at 7.4. I'm not sure if these levels are worrisome. Could you please let me know what precautions I should take and where I should get these checked out?
Creatinine level of 1.19 and uric acid level of 7.4 are slightly above the normal range. To help lower your uric acid levels, you can take precautions such as avoiding purine-rich foods like organ meats, anchovies, and alcohol. Additionally, staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy weight can also help. For your creatinine level, it is important to stay hydrated and avoid excessive intake of protein. You can get these levels checked at a diagnostic center or a laboratory.

I'm really worried about my father. He's 80 and has been having serious kidney problems. He hasn't had proper meals for about 4 months and is just on liquid foods now, so you can imagine how weak he's become. He's also got high blood pressure and issues with his lungs, liver, kidneys, and heart. He's struggling with passing urine and stools as well. We recently did an endoscopy, and the results weren't good at all; there were some abnormalities. His kidney problem has reached a stage 4. The doctors have given him meds like dytor10, isosorbide mononitrate, cardipin, czopressco 2.5, metaproxl 25, idiot 20, omeprazole, and ciploric 100. But he's not eating anything. I'm hoping you could suggest some diet tips or precautions I could take. Would it be okay to give him something like B protein powder or pomegranate juice?
All these are age related issues which lead to current scenario.its not possible to advice without clinical examination ,dont worry you are in right hands,follow your doctors advice

I'm really worried right now about my health. I've been checking my blood pressure every day for the past two weeks, and it's been around 190110 consistently. I'm already taking Telmisartan 40mg, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. On top of that, my creatinine level is 1.8, my potassium is high, urine protein is at 2484, and my albumin is 3.3. My vitamin B12 is really low at 82. Can you help me understand what all these numbers mean and what I should do next?
