A Quora inquiry highlighted concerns over kidney health, specifically mentioning a creatinine level of 1.4 mg/dL and a Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) of 39, which suggests moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD Stage 3). Dr. Nikhil Bhasin, a nephrologist at Wockhardt Hospitals in Mumbai, clarified that while these numbers indicate a need for monitoring, they do not guarantee that dialysis will be necessary in the future. Kidney disease progression is highly individualistic, with some patients remaining stable for years, especially if they manage underlying health issues effectively. Dr. Bhasin emphasized that the absence of symptoms and adequate kidney function for daily activities can lead nephrologists to reassure patients. Factors such as uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, and lifestyle choices significantly influence kidney health. To mitigate risks, regular check-ups, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and adhering to medical advice are recommended.
