Question 1

I've been having some recurring issues with UTIs. I had one back in November 2016, and after a week of taking Norflox, it cleared up. But now, the problem has come back again in April. I started taking Norflox for 5 days along with Citralka syrup, and it got better for a bit. But after just 2 days, the issue started again, and now it feels like Im dealing with the same thing every day. Whats going on? Should I be worried or try something else?

Accepted Answer

Recurring UTI symptoms despite antibiotic treatment, including norflox, suggest a possible underlying issue, such as antibiotic resistance, incomplete treatment, or an underlying anatomical or functional abnormality; consider consulting a urologist

. I can understand your worry.. creatinine is measure of kidney function.. since you have diabetes and hypertension, both of which affects kidney if not controlled properly.. hba1c of 8.2 is not good control.. it's has to be below 7 then only it's good control.. have small frequent meals instead of three big meals, have more fibre rich diet, have green leafy vegetables, in fruits have guava, orange, avoid sapota, papaya, apple, banana.. reduce carbohydrates and fats.. for kidney disease, reduce salt intake and have low protein intake.. consult dietician for complete diet plan..

Question 3

Hi, my creatinine level is 1.19 and my uric acid level is 7.4. Is this something to be worried about? What precautions should I take, and where should I go to get it checked further?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Hey doctor, I recently got my blood tests done, and my creatinine level came back at 1.2. It was 0.78 for the past two years. Everything else, including urea, was normal. Last year, I started working out more intensely and focusing on muscle building...

Accepted Answer

The increase in creatinine levels from 0.78 to 1.2 over a year can be attributed to your rigorous workout regime and muscle building. When muscle tissue is broken down during exercise, creatinine is produced as a byproduct. Since you are vegetarian and do not take supplements, the increase in creatinine levels can be considered a normal response to your increased muscle mass. However, it is important to continue monitoring your creatinine levels and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if needed.
