Hi Doctor, I have been experiencing high BP 130/92. As advised, I got KFT and LFT done. The reports are normal except for slightly high total protein in KFT and low urea levels. Should I also undergo an eGFR test at this stage?

These changes may suggest mild kidney function changes. eGFR helps assess actual filtration. It is advisable to get it done.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a eGFR Test (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) Test or Take a Urine ACR Test Test

My son is 5 years old and he had a congenital defect in the kidney since birth. Since a few days he has some inflammation which has caused swelling all over the body. His urine report shows that there is protein and blood in the urine. What does this mean and are there any further tests you suggest we should do?

Two months ago, I experienced stomach pain and underwent an ultrasound scan. The report showed that the pelvicalyceal system in my left kidney is prominent, possibly due to a lower ureteric calculus (stone). The liver appears normal in size and shape, with no focal lesions or other abnormalities. After medication, my pain has reduced to minimal levels, but I want to be sure that there are no remaining stones. I am willing to consult at a good hospital for further evaluation. Please advise on how to confirm the absence of stones and what steps I should take next. Thank you.
