Question 1

Hi Sir/Madam, My grandmother has been admitted to the hospital with a creatinine level of 2.1 and a urinary tract infection. She is also diabetic. I would like to know if this condition can lead to dialysis, or if there is a chance that her creatinine levels can be brought down with treatment. If dialysis becomes necessary, how long would she need to continue it? Please guide us.

Question 2

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 3

My creatinine level is 1.31 mg/dL. Does this indicate kidney failure? Is it dangerous, and do I need to consult a specialist?

My mother is 65 years old and she is diabetic. Over the past year, her creatinine level has been increasing and has now reached 6.7. Her phosphorus level is 6.93, urea 144, and hemoglobin 9. She is not ready for dialysis.

Your mother creatinine (6.7) and urea (144) levels suggest severe kidney dysfunction. If she refuses dialysis, manage with strict fluid restriction, low protein diet, and medicines under nephrologist care. Discuss options and risks openly with family.
