Question 1

Recently, he had a problem where he was not able to urinate properly, but there was no pain. Creatinine level is 0.88 to 1.2, checked in different labs for repeatability. After consulting two different nephrology doctors, we are confused. One suggests normal kidney function, and the other suggests 20 percent kidney damage with a recommendation for Renosave medicine.

We would like to know whether we need to take any medicine to prevent further kidney damage or if we should monitor eGFR to see any abnormality by creatinine level in blood tests?

As per doctors suggestion, a DTPA test was conducted to examine kidney function. Following are the test report comments:

There is abnormally increased circulating background tracer noted, suggestive of renal parenchymal dysfunction.

Bilateral subnormally functioning kidneys without obstruction.
Low normal limit of GFR for age greater than 70 ml/min.

Kindly clarify and also suggest whether we need to take preventive medicine in this case or not to avoid any kidney damage?

Question 2

My current urea level is 47 and creatinine is 2.2. I have already undergone dialysis 6 times. What measures or treatments can help bring these levels back to normal?

Question 3

Hello. My creatinine level is 1.4. Over the past six months, it has increased slightly, it was 1.22 earlier. Which doctor should I see?

My mother is 65 years old and she is diabetic. Over the past year, her creatinine level has been increasing and has now reached 6.7. Her phosphorus level is 6.93, urea 144, and hemoglobin 9. She is not ready for dialysis.

Your mother creatinine (6.7) and urea (144) levels suggest severe kidney dysfunction. If she refuses dialysis, manage with strict fluid restriction, low protein diet, and medicines under nephrologist care. Discuss options and risks openly with family.
