Confusion over medicines
Hi,
I am IGA Nephropathy Stage 5, my creatinine levels have been fluctuating and recently have been going down from 8 to 6.5, since last 10 days I have been on low to zero salt, I have been taking Allopathic, ayurvedic and homeopathic all medicines yet my creatinine elevated to 7.07. I am confused as to what should I do, simply focus on allopathic or what. I have lost weight with complete diet control.

IgA Nephropathy & others connected issue
29 M, have enlarged tonsils ever since puberty.
Have few more medical issues. 1. IgA Nephropathy
2. Sleep apnea 3. Nose slightly bent post surgery after an accident in childhood resulting in narrow nasal cavity in left side. Breathing slightly impacted.
All this results in chronic irritation at the back of the throat which causes frequent bouts of coughing regularly in daily life. Phelgm persists irrespective of season.
In 2023 patient was admitted to hospital because he lost consciousness. He has been having blood in urine, also brown colour urine which lead doctors to examine his kidney.
Biopsy was done then they found mild scarring on kidney and discovered IgA Nephropathy.
Since then he had no symptoms related to kidney. Urine is normal, no blackouts and overall fit except for tonsillitis and swallowing issues. Whenever he swallows there is irritation at back of throat leading to coughing daily.
What should be the next step? And how can these persistent symptoms cured?

Need to understand the EGFR Value means
Need to understand the EGFR value related with the risk of CKD. It came out to be 81.
Uploading this report of my mother, also need guidance about the other disturbed parameters as well.
She's having stomach issues mostly, gas most of the time, passage of urine is also something that's concerning , it doesn't pass clearly at once and happens in intervals.
There was a leg swelling 2 months back while a long travel. No such repeated post that.
No diabetics or bp seen but when it's high heat of summer, even staying at home she feels a bit dizzy and take the help of sleep to avoid it.
Please suggest and advice.
