Question

How can I check my kidneys at home?

Question

I'm a 57-year-old Indian male who's been living and working in the Middle East for 31 years. I've been dealing with chronic kidney failure since 2000, with creatinine levels at 150220 umolL, which was stabilized using Diovan 80. I've also been diabetic since 2007. Recently, I had a heart attack, and they put a stent in my LAD with DES. I'm now on aspirin but I had to stop taking Diovan 80. I'm really worriedwill stopping Diovan 80 make my kidneys fail faster?

Question

I'm really concerned because my loved one has been diagnosed with pyelonephritis along with bilateral pleural effusion at Wockhardt Hospital on Mira Road. I'm wondering if we should seek a second opinion before starting any treatment. Do you think it's necessary to confirm the diagnosis with another doctor, or should we trust the findings and proceed with the treatment plan they've suggested? Any advice on how to handle this situation would be appreciated.
