Nephrology

My father recently received a diagnosis of stage 3B Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Notably, his creatinine levels were normal just 1.5 years ago, despite having high blood glucose levels at the time. Although his glucose levels have been well-managed with medication since then, his serum creatinine has risen to 1.9, with a corresponding GFR of 38. Is it possible to stabilize his creatinine levels and halt further progression of the disease?

I have CKD and was stable with a creatinine level of 2.2, urine creatinine around 19, and 1+ proteinuria for the past three years. My nephrologist prescribed Telma 20 to manage proteinuria, though I have no high blood pressure or diabetes. After starting Telma 20, my creatinine rose from 2.2 to 2.6 and remained there for three months. When the dose was doubled, it increased to 2.76, after which the doctor stopped Telma. Despite this, my creatinine rose further to 2.8, 2.9, and recently to 3.04. Additionally, my protein-creatinine ratio fluctuates, with protein rising to 90 and the ratio increasing to 4.7. My proteinuria now alternates between 1+ and 2+. I also stopped Septran (taken twice weekly) after my creatinine reached 2.8. I currently take Nodosis (three times daily), Cretlow (twice daily), Bun Proforte (twice daily), Docxis Q10, and Dapadoc on alternate days. Despite regular nephrology consultations, I am concerned about my CKD progression and seek further guidance.

I am having bp medication i.e. Telmikind trio 12.5 (Telmisartan 40mg + cilnidipine 10mg + Chlorthalidone 12.5mg) And having cholesterol medication Rosulip 10 (Rosuvastin 10) And Ciplar LA 20 for anxiety. My grandfather died due to kidney failure. I have fear that I will get CKD for using these medications. My creatinine serum is 0.92 and egfr value is 119(24 yrs). I am 110kgs and 5.9feet height. My question:- is these medications are nephrotoxics? If yes, should I need to change the medications?

Having arthritis from long and taking medications for the same. As part of that routine blood tests are being done. In current RFT serum creatinine is 0.4 and potassium is 6.5 mmol/l. Remaining all are normal in RFT. 3 months back creatinine and potassium were also normal and everytime this test was done previously they were normal. Taking only arthritis medications, nothing else. Please advise what this could be

Dear Sir/Madam,whether rantadine is safe for kidney for long termuse.I am using for maintanence of gerd.If not which medecine is safe,Kindly reply.

My father recently had his routine usg scan and we found a 78mm cyst on his left kidney. Though it's type 1 we are still a bit worried as the previous report (done in Aug 2024) didn't mention anything about the cyst and suddenly this time we found it. Can you kindly check the previous scan and let me know if it had the cyst in the scan and the radiologist somehow missed it? I'm attaching both the new and old scan pictures for your reference. He doesn't have any discomfort and he's on medication due to the residual urine issue.

My mother 66years old was just discharged from hospital after recovering from a UTI kidney infection. Post that she was told to continue antibiotics Intravenous(Ertapenem Eczas) once a day for one week and follow up with the doctor with fresh CBC, CRP, KFT and USG KUB. My question is how soon after completing the antibiotics course should she take a blood test for a clear/accurate result? After 24 hours or can we wait and take the blood tests 2-3 days later?
