CKD patients with constantly rising levels of creatinine are a concern that can cause fear. This could be the case of some factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or even medication problems. It is vital to strictly adhere to the nephrologist's advice, adopt a strict kidney-friendly diet, control blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and drink enough water. Your nephrologist may require you to change your medications or suggest dialysis.

A stroke during dialysis can be caused by low blood pressure or the brain not receiving enough oxygen. Symptoms can include, but are not limited to, sudden weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, and confusion. Place the person on the ground, loosen anything too tight, and call for help.

A 5mm kidney stone in your left side can cause severe pain. Urine minerals gather and create the stone. Intense, stabbing pain may spread to your back or abdomen. Drink lots of water to help flush out the stone. Your nephrologist might give medicine to ease pain and help the stone pass more easily. In some cases, they may do a procedure to break up or remove the stone. Follow your doctor's advice carefully to manage the pain and get rid of that stone.

Considering your circumstance with IGA nephropathy, it is usual that creatinine levels may increase as kidney functions get worse. Also, rapid weight loss may affect kidney function. It is good that you are committed to eating right and exercising, but running 3 miles every day could strain your kidneys more. You should talk about these worries with a nephrologist. A further kidney biopsy might be able to tell what is happening to your kidneys now.
