I'm really concerned about my dad. He's been dealing with heart issues and diabetes for over four years, and now his latest checkup showed his creatinine levels are up. I'm curious if there are specific foods, maybe certain types of millet or anything else, that might help lower his creatinine. Also, I'm a bit confused about how much fluid he should actually be drinking.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my health lately as my recent blood tests showed a creatinine level of 1.19 and uric acid at 7.4. I'm not sure if these levels are worrisome. Could you please let me know what precautions I should take and where I should get these checked out?
Creatinine level of 1.19 and uric acid level of 7.4 are slightly above the normal range. To help lower your uric acid levels, you can take precautions such as avoiding purine-rich foods like organ meats, anchovies, and alcohol. Additionally, staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy weight can also help. For your creatinine level, it is important to stay hydrated and avoid excessive intake of protein. You can get these levels checked at a diagnostic center or a laboratory.

I'm really worried about my father. He's got an electrolyte issue, and his sodium level is at 131, potassium is 4.4, and chloride is at 93. Are these levels something to be concerned about? What steps can we take to address this imbalance?
Your father's electrolyte levels show a slight imbalance. To correct this, I recommend using a medication called "Oral Rehydration Solution" with a dosage of 200-400 ml every 1-2 hours until the electrolyte levels stabilize. This solution will help replenish the sodium, potassium, and chloride levels in his body.

My wife has albumin in her urine along with a UTI. There isn't any sugar showing up in her urine, but she does have a history of diabetes. Should I be concerned and check her diabetes levels?
Albumin in the urine can be a sign of kidney damage, especially in the presence of a urinary tract infection (UTI). Since your wife has a history of diabetes, it is important to monitor her blood sugar levels regularly. I recommend checking her blood sugar levels and consulting with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action. In the meantime, she can take antibiotics for the UTI and ensure proper hydration.
