AS SUCH NOT ALARMING, IT CAN BE GRADUAL PROGRESSION OF DISEASE TOO. APART FROM SERUM CRT ALSO MONITOR HIS URINE FOR PROTEINS. IF THEY ARE INCREASING HE DEFINITELY NEEDS OPTIMISATION OF HIS PRESCRIPTION. IF THAT IS THE CASE CONSULT NEAREST NEPHROLOGIST OR PHYSICIAN. MAINTAIN HYDRATION AVOID PAINKILLERS DIET NOT EXTRA OF PROTEIN, BUT DONT CUT DOWN TO ZERO WHICH USUALLY PEOPLE DO.
