Hi,

There are too many things going on here. I will try to break them down to understand a clear picture.

- You have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes based on these results - HbA1C value of 7.40. Fasting glucose -144. You also have peripheral neuropathy that is a complication of your type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can also contribute to the development of kidney disease.

- You have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, which can lead to kidney disease development if not controlled well. Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, which is seen in ECG/X-Ray.

- You have been diagnosed with hyperlipidemia, which can increase the progression rate of your kidney disease.

- You have been diagnosed with osteopenia, which can be due to vitamin D deficiency. Synthesis of an active form of Vitamin D requires functional kidneys. Your kidney disease could be indirectly causing your osteopenia.

- You have been diagnosed with microcytic hypochromic anemia, which could be due to some overt bleeding. Kidney disease also contributes to anemia as it is involved in the production of Erythropoietin, which stimulates your bone marrow to produce red blood cells.

Your doctor has already advised you of all the ways you can slow your kidney disease progression. Which includes the following
- Avoid drugs that can damage your kidneys
- Take medications to control your blood pressure
- Take medications to manage your type 2 diabetes
- Take medications to manage your hyperlipidemia

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saralkumar R. Desai, General & Family Physician
