Based on the ultrasound report:Key Findings1. Left Renal Cortical Cysts Grade II: Two small, non-cancerous cysts (2.3 x 1.9 cm) are present in the lower pole of the left kidney.2. Fatty Changes in Liver: Indicates a potential liver condition, possibly related to high blood pressure or other factors.3. Prostatomegaly: Enlargement of the prostate gland, which can be a normal part of aging.Recommendations1. Regular Follow-ups: Schedule regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor the cysts and other conditions.2. Blood Pressure Management: Continue to manage your high blood pressure through lifestyle changes and medication (if prescribed).3.

Accepted Answer

A 5mm kidney stone can often pass with increased water intake (3-4 liters/day). PCOD and irregular periods improve significantly with weight loss, regular exercise, and a balanced diet. Losing 5-7% of your body weight can regulate periods and reduce complications. It's not serious yet, but consistent effort is key!

Accepted Answer

Your microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio (395.80) indicates early signs of diabetic nephropathy; to reduce microalbuminuria, focus on tight blood sugar control, aiming for an HbA1c < 7%; also, consider the following: maintain optimal blood pressure control (<130/80 mmHg) with medications like ACE inhibitors or ARBs; follow a healthy, low-sodium diet; increase physical activity; quit smoking; and limit protein intake;
