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?

High creatinine (5) and blood urea (165) suggest advanced kidney dysfunction, needing urgent nephrologist review. Limit salt, potassium-rich foods (bananas, potatoes), and high-protein intake as advised by your doctor. Maintain good blood sugar and blood pressure control to slow progression. Monitor fluid intake as per doctors guidance. Repeat Kidney Function Test (KFT) and Electrolytes to track kidney status and adjust diet accordingly.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a Vitamin D Test Test or Take a Electrolytes Test Test

View allI had gallbladder surgery in November. Before the surgery, my creatinine was 1.3. I repeated the KFT test in December, and I have attached the report here. Is my report normal? Should I be concerned, and after how many days should I repeat the test? I have also attached my urine routine report.

Can a kidney regain its function after hydronephrosis is treated surgically? Are there any medicines or treatments that can help restore kidney function? The hydronephrosis was caused by a long standing stone blockage.
