Diabetes can affect kidney health over time. Online consultation can help review creatinine, eGFR, urine albumin, sugar control, blood pressure, and medicines before planning follow-up.
When to consult a doctor
Book a consultation if you have diabetes with abnormal creatinine, reduced eGFR, urine albumin or protein, swelling, difficult blood pressure control, or repeated changes in kidney reports.
What the doctor may review
Your doctor may review diabetes duration, HbA1c, fasting and post-meal sugar, kidney function, urine albumin, blood pressure logs, current medicines, painkiller use, diet, and previous admissions.
Reports to prepare
Keep HbA1c, blood sugar logs, creatinine, eGFR, urine albumin or protein reports, electrolytes, ultrasound reports, blood pressure readings, and all current prescriptions.
Urgent symptoms
Seek urgent care for breathlessness, chest pain, confusion, severe weakness, very low urine output, severe swelling, vomiting, or very high or very low blood sugar with symptoms.
