My father blood test showed a creatinine level of 9 and potassium level of 7.56, so the doctor advised immediate dialysis. He has undergone two dialysis sessions so far, one the day before yesterday and one today. The ultrasound report shows that both kidneys are normal in size and there are no stones. However, the urine report indicates elevated RBCs and pus cells. Now, the doctor is recommending a kidney biopsy. I would like to understand what the next steps should be and whether the biopsy is necessary at this stage.

High creatinine and potassium suggest acute kidney injury. Biopsy may help determine cause. Follow nephrologist advice. Monitor closely.
Dr. Shaik Suggests...
Take a Urine Culture Test Test or Take a KFT with Electrolytes (Kidney Funtion) Test

View allHi doctor, I had a urine routine test because I felt a mild burning sensation in the vaginal area. The report was almost normal, showing 4 to 6 pus cells and 2 to 4 epithelial cells. After a week of taking Niftas 100 mg tablet, I was feeling okay. I also had my period when I started taking this UTI medicine. On the 7th day of my menstrual flow, I did masturbation, and the next hour I saw a few blood spots. My flow had already stopped on the 5th day. Why is there spotting? Is it related to a serious health issue? I still feel mild itching and burning in the vaginal area. Is this an infection? I did another urine test today. The report shows pus cells 2 to 4, epithelial cells 6 to 8, and a few traces of protein (albumin). Please suggest if this is normal or if I need other medicine. I have attached both reports the first week and todays urine report. Please help me?

I suffer from frequent urination, so I do not drink much water. Sometimes my lower right back hurts, especially when I bend. However, when I drink plenty of water, the pain slowly goes away. My urine report shows turbid transparency and light yellow color, specific gravity 1.030, WBC 6 to 8/HPF, calcium oxalate crystals (+), and epithelial cells 10 to 12/HPF. Chemical examination is normal. RBC, casts, pH level, and pus cells are normal. Can you please diagnose and give suggestions?
