Patient's question:
After the routine urinalysis returned to normal, but the pH was 7. It has been approximately half a year since the last check-up. Treatment situation: Vitamin C and Ganoderma lucidum extract tablets, and another unnamed one. Desired assistance: The doctor said there is kidney damage. I see that the drug instructions are all anti-inflammatory. I want to ask if the kidney damage is severe and whether it can be recovered.Doctor's answer:
Based on the information you provided, there is only a possibility of nephritis, and kidney function damage cannot be determined yet. You need to check your kidney function to know for sure. Generally, kidney function will not decline. The extent of kidney damage should be assessed through kidney function tests. A single plus in urine protein only indicates inflammation. Kidney damage should be checked to restore kidney function. If only pH=7, it cannot be determined whether your kidney function is damaged. You can check your kidney function to see the level of creatinine. Additionally, since your urinalysis is normal, it is likely that your kidney function is also normal.
