What is the way to confirm chronic kidney disease in a patient?
A normal creatinine for her is around 0.8 to 1.2 mg/dL or so. A creatinine of 5.3 suggests severe kidney disease and she must see a nephrologist asap. It is difficult to tell whether it is reversible or not with the limited information we have. READ MORE
Is there a sign to look out for to detect kidney disease early?
The best thing is to follow up regularly with your primary doctor and have your BUN and creatinine checked on a regular basis. Given your family history, I would have urine protein screened as well. READ MORE
What is the impact high blood pressure can have on my renal function?
High bp can cause kidney disease and make existing kidney disease worsen more rapidly-among other adverse effects. It is important to control to at least <140/90 mmHg. READ MORE
Can excessive urination be a sign of a kidney problem?
Perhaps. It is a good idea to have your kidneys checked by your doctor including a basic metabolic profile and urinalysis. READ MORE
Can detox diets harm the kidneys?
It depends on which diet, of course. I generally do not recommend them because there is no scientific evidence that they work. READ MORE
