Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My husband is 47 years old. Before ten years he was diagnosed with kidney disease. He have had flank pain, joint pain, and mood changes. So he took comprehensive tests. By then e-GFR was 65 mg/mmol. Now it has dropped to 30 mg/mmol. What is your opinion?

Answered by Dr. Vaibhav Vishal

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Consult a urologist to identify the reason for decreasing GFR (glomerular filtration rate). Take a CT (computed tomography) scan to identify the reason for flank pain. Take a serum creatinine test.

Kindly revert back with the tests. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
