Question 1

Hi, please suggest based on the below symptoms and test report. A 64 year old female has creatinine 1.19, phosphorus 4.41, potassium 5.40, and chloride 110.00, all high. HbA1c is 6.2 and fasting sugar is 131, which is high. TSH is 2.88 and controlled. ESR is 16 and C reactive protein is 3.82. Historically, she is taking Telvas 40 for high blood pressure and Eltroxine 100 mg for thyroid, which is controlled in the current report. She was previously diagnosed with high ESR around 90 and high C reactive protein, but this time both are controlled. Please suggest what action should be taken?

Question 2

Recently, he had a problem where he was not able to urinate properly, but there was no pain. Creatinine level is 0.88 to 1.2, checked in different labs for repeatability. After consulting two different nephrology doctors, we are confused. One suggests normal kidney function, and the other suggests 20 percent kidney damage with a recommendation for Renosave medicine.

We would like to know whether we need to take any medicine to prevent further kidney damage or if we should monitor eGFR to see any abnormality by creatinine level in blood tests?

As per doctors suggestion, a DTPA test was conducted to examine kidney function. Following are the test report comments:

There is abnormally increased circulating background tracer noted, suggestive of renal parenchymal dysfunction.

Bilateral subnormally functioning kidneys without obstruction.
Low normal limit of GFR for age greater than 70 ml/min.

Kindly clarify and also suggest whether we need to take preventive medicine in this case or not to avoid any kidney damage?

Question 3

Hello. My creatinine level is 1.4. Over the past six months, it has increased slightly, it was 1.22 earlier. Which doctor should I see?

Hi, from a recent blood report, my eGFR was 80 and creatinine was 0.92. I have no discomfort or pain during urination. Is there any cause for concern? Should I consult a urologist? I am a 36 year old Indian female.

No concern. EGFR of 80 is good for your age. Creatinine 0.92 is normal. No signs of kidney dysfunction. No need to see a urologist unless other symptoms develop.
