[|Human|] Yes, thank you. I have been feeling poorly for several months. I feel I may have a kidney problem. My eGFR level is 55 also My Creatine level is 1.0. I am 68 year old female and have some side pans and more frequent urination now than I used to have. No burning. I have tested positive for infections in my urine on several doctors visits and end up taking Baxtrim to get ride of it. My problem I I worry about kidney failure.
[|AI|]  HelloThanks for query. You have doubt that you have Kidney Failure. Creatinine level of 1 itself indicates that your kidneys are functioning normal and nothing to be worried about it. As regards increased frequency of urination this is common after the menopause and is due to what is called as Urethral Stenosis.(Narrowing of Urethral Passage)The most probable cause of UTI may be due to Post Menopausal Urethral Stenosis which is very common in females after menopause. After the age of menopause there is generalized atrophy of all Benito Urinary Organs which also involves urethral passage causing narrowing of the urethral passage (Urethral Stenosis). Because of the urethral Stenosis there is incomplete emptying of the bladder during urination and some amount of urine always remains in the bladder what is called as residual urine. This stagnated residual urine is a source of infection causing UTI. I would suggest you to consult qualified Urologist for clinical assessment and get endoscopic examination of bladder (Cystoscopy) and Urethral Calibration done. This will to dilate your urethral passage and help in complete emptying of bladder and there by prevent getting UTI repeatedly. Chat Doctor.
