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

I have been diabetic for the last 15 years. My last blood report shows fasting 109, after lunch 118, creatinine 1.14 mg and GFR 65.52 ml. I have second stage mild kidney loss and weigh 77 kg. Sometimes I have burning sensation during urination. Can you recommend any medicine for my kidney?

Question

My BUN level is 3.5 mg per dL. This is below the normal range as per my blood report. Is this a serious issue? Please advise what I need to do?
