Angel Gupta, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Angel Gupta, a 42-year-old software engineer and mother of two, had been experiencing persistent fatigue, nausea, and a dull ache in her lower back for several months. She initially attributed it to stress and long work hours. Her family history includes her father having chronic kidney disease. During a routine check-up for recurring acid reflux, her gastroenterologist, Dr. Sharma, noted her pallor and ordered a comprehensive metabolic panel, including a Kidney Function Test (KFT), concerned that her symptoms and family history might point to early renal involvement, possibly linked to long-term use of over-the-counter painkillers for migraines. Angel was anxious, fearing a serious diagnosis that would impact her ability to care for her family and work. The blood draw for the KFT was quick and straightforward. The results showed mildly elevated creatinine levels, indicating Stage 2 chronic kidney disease. While initially devastated, the early detection allowed for immediate intervention with dietary changes, blood pressure medication, and regular monitoring. Angel's emotional journey shifted from fear and denial to a sense of control and proactive determination. She now manages her condition carefully, grateful for the early warning that the test provided.
