My mother is 55 yrs old, she was detected with kidney stone in right kidney few months back. Now she is complaining for pain in right side of body specially in legs,arms and near chest. She has deficiency of vitamin D. Her ecg and echo is normal.Is it because of kidney stone or any other reason? Please suggest

I was advised few days back to go for KFT as my urine examination showed a little protein. Followed that I went for KFT which showed my creatinine level bit high - 1.33 ( 0.40 - 1.20 mg/dL - Refrence Range ). Today after doing some life and food modification I went against for KFT after three weeks . My creatine level is as 1.11 mg/dL which has now been reduced , plus urine examination also shows no protein content .However in today's KFT report it shows my Uric Acid low is as 3.1 ( Refrence Range - 3.4 -7.0 mg/dL) . Not sure what can be the reason now for its low level . Any suggestion before I can go for a consultation.

My Husband is a high BP patient and due to high BP, his kidney got affected. With the help of medication, his BP is under control but his Creatinine level has increased. It is recorded 1.93H (mg/dl). Sodium and potassium is in under the described limit but uric acid is high (11.40H)Total Cholesterol is 213H. Please suggest us to reduce his creatinine levels. What diet should he follow including dry fruits, fruits and veggies?
