Questions & Answers on "Nephrologist" (134)

Dr, I was diagnosed with IGA nephropathy 32 years ago. I am 64 years of age and my creatinine is 2.31 and has been hovering around that number. I have lost 124 lbs over the past year with the assistance of Zepbound. My kidneys have not improved and appear to be getting slightly worse. I run 3 miles a day and eat around 1200 calories a day never exceeding my sodium or potassium requirements. I do not have protein or blood in my urine. Please help. What is causing my creatinine to continue to rise? I am currently In Stage 4 kidney disease. Should I get an updated biopsy since my only biopsy was done in 1992. What can I do? Could the Zepbound be causing my kidneys to worsen? I drink 100 ounces of water daily.

It is concerning that your creatinine levels are rising despite your efforts. IGA nephropathy can progress slowly over time, and factors like age, diet, and medications may influence kidney function. Zepbound's impact on your kidneys should be evaluated by a specialist. I strongly advise you to consult a nephrologist for a thorough assessment and consider getting an updated biopsy to understand the current state of your kidney disease.

I've test kidney function test all the parameters are in normal range except uric acid that is 7.9 mg/dl, and I want to take creatine supplement should i take it. (And before KFT test I had have ate fish and high purine food).

Your UA climb was up to 7.9mg/dl and you are considering using creatine. With higher UA comes greater chances for gout, a condition marked by pain and swelling in the joints. You should not take any creatine supplement right now while still eating fish and other high-purine foods since this would elevate your UA even further. To help decrease its level, stick with those things lower in purines.
