One of my relatives has been dealing with high blood pressure and their creatinine level was around 3.6. After being admitted to the hospital and getting treatment with English medicine, their blood pressure is now normal, but the creatinine level has gone up to 4.5. I'm a big believer in Ayurveda and was wondering when would be a good time to bring them in for a consultation with you.

Patient is advised HBA1c levels , and continue same medications twice daily.

I've just had a routine ultrasound and it turns out my left kidney is now just 7.5 cm, even though my right one seems to be normal. When I had a scan about five years ago, the left kidney was 10 cm. I also did a urine test that showed 100 mgdL of protein and my serum creatinine level is at 1.24. Should I be worried about this? Could this be Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?

While these findings could indicate early kidney issues, including CKD, its important to get a thorough evaluation from a nephrologist. They will be able to assess the underlying cause of the kidney size change, proteinuria, and creatinine elevation. With early intervention and appropriate treatment, kidney function can often be preserved, so dont delay in seeking specialized care.
