Question 1

My father had a bypass surgery for his heart three years ago and has been doing well, but he also has kidney issues. He didn't get a checkup for two months and now his creatinine shot up from 1.6 to 8.6. Is 8.6 creatinine dangerous for someone with his heart condition? How did it increase so fast? Are there ways to lower it without surgery, and if surgery is needed, is it safe for him given his heart history?

Accepted Answer

CTVS opinion advise.

Question 2

I'm really concerned because my left kidney is measuring 7.2 cm by 3.9 cm, and I'm experiencing a swollen face, dark facial color, and leg edema. Is this a dangerous situation, and is there any way to treat this permanently?

Question 3

I've got my urine routine test results and it says that albumin is present. Could you please tell me what treatment I should consider? I'm a bit worried about it.

My father has a serum creatinine level of 2.18 and high uric acid. He has a heart problem and the doctor recommended bypass surgery, but his creatinine and uric acid levels are elevated. Is there any medicine that can help lower these levels before surgery?
