Given that one doctor says my kidneys are normal but another suggests 20% damage and prescribed Renosave, and my recent kidney scan shows both kidneys are working slightly below normal without any blockages, should I start taking preventive medication like Renosave to avoid future kidney damage, or should I just monitor my kidney function with regular blood tests?
A scan showing kidneys working slightly below normal without blockages is reassuring, as it means there is no immediate obstruction. Renosave is often used as a supportive supplement to help protect kidney cells, but whether to start it or simply monitor your function with blood tests depends on your overall trends in GFR and blood pressure. I highly recommend consulting a nephrologist (kidney specialist) for a definitive plan. They can help you weigh the benefits of starting Renosave versus monitoring your kidneys closely with regular, simple blood and urine tests.
