Suggest Medical Tests To Rule Out Cardiac Issues

Renal function and prostate gland tests.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
You've asked multiple questions in one.
1. creatinine level is done to assess kidney function.
There can be some changes in it's level,in a narrow band.
As you've not written the levels,i can't comment further.
2. The other test is to check the urine for ACR.
It's gives us an idea of early changes in kidney function deterioration.
It's suggestive of protein leak in urine,if the kidney is affected.
3. The medicines listed,don't affect the kidney function.
4. Prostate gland is assessed in people who've symptoms due to it.
Tests to do in such a case are :
.urine routine and culture.
.blood routine,creatinine,RBS,LFT,PSA,and platelets.
.Ultrasound -KUB,with residual urine and a TRUS.
Hope your doubts are cleared.

• Kidney Panel (includes 5 tests)
o BUN/Creatinine Ratio
o Creatinine
o Uric Acid
o Calcium
o Blood Urea Nitrogen
or any other tests needs to be done.What should be the comfort value of serum creatine upto what XXXXXXX value should be fine.
A routine RFT consists of serum creatinine and urea(BUN).
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
The RFT or renal function tests are mainly :
1. S.creatinine.
2. urea.- (blood urea nitrogen).
3. creatinine clearance test.
4. eGFR.(estimated glomerular function test).
However,for a quick estimation, a creatinine and urea levels alone, are tested.
The rest are done,if there's impairment in these levels.
A creatinine level of upto 1.2 is normal.
But,even up to 1.4,is acceptable,if person is in good health.
Hope your doubts are cleared.
Wishing your father well.

A creatinine of 1.3 is just above normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Yes,i've gone through his reports.
A creatinine of 1.3,is borderline elevated.
He should repeat it in about 3 days.
It's best that it come to normal range of 1.2.
A prostate evaluation and it's tests,as written in my earlier reply should be done.
That could be a cause for it's elevation,at his age.
