High Creatinine and GFR Levels Signify Severe Kidney Damage
DEAR DR. ROACH: Last summer, a city policeman came to my door. My doctor had been unable to contact me with the results of a recent blood test and called the police. The policeman handed me a card with the results written on it. My creatinine level was 4.1, and my glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 14. He said the numbers indicated that my kidneys were failing and that I should go to the emergency room immediately. Except for swelling in one ankle, I had no symptoms.
During a day and a half in the hospital, I lost 14 pounds of fluid after the insertion of a catheter. Within two weeks, my creatinine level was measured at 2.1. After a few months of wearing the catheter, my prostate was “trimmed back” (my words, not the doctor’s) using a procedure called a “TURP.” I am back to normal. What is a TURP, and how routine is it? Are there any long-term negative effects? How close did I come to kidney failure? -- T.J.R. ANSWER: Your problem was obstruction of urine flow due to an enlarged prostate. The urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) goes right through the middle of the prostate, and an enlarged prostate can block flow partially or completely. This is a very common problem. Sometimes the urine flow stops entirely, but this doesn’t have to happen in order for kidney damage to occur. It’s the increased pressure in the bladder that causes damage. Creatinine is an end product of protein metabolism, and since it is removed by the kidney, it’s a good indicator of kidney function. The higher the creatinine level, the worse the kidney function. The creatinine level (along with age and sex) are used to estimate the GFR, a direct statement of a person’s kidney function.
A (stable) GFR of less than 15 is considered stage 5 kidney failure, which usually means that dialysis will be necessary to preserve life. Note that creatinine itself isn’t the problem; it’s a marker for the fact that the kidney can’t remove all the other waste products, which will then build up and make a person very ill.
When a person with urinary obstruction develops a creatinine level over 6, it’s likely that they will have permanent kidney damage, but I have seen people with higher levels recover and some with lower levels experience permanent kidney function loss. My guess is that you were only a few days away from having permanent damage. A trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a traditional treatment for an enlarged prostate. Although newer treatments are often used in situations where there is plenty of time to spare, a TURP is a routine treatment for the type of obstruction you had. There are possible long-term side effects from a TURP, such as erectile dysfunction, but those are usually noticed immediately after surgery and often get better over time.
Finally, a plea: Make sure that your doctor has your up-to-date contact information, including your emergency contacts. We physicians are very grateful to have the police available for emergencies, but would rather not have to use them. I try to remind my resident physicians to be sure that we have a working contact number any time we order a test, but it’s best if both the patient and physician have it on their lists. Even routine tests can occasionally come back with critical results.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2024 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved
Summer health and beauty guidelines
Don’t fight the elements. Many people go to great lengths to change what nature gave them. For example, those with curly hair will spend hours with straightening irons or special serums. Try to embrace the elements and your natural hair texture this summer. Use a product to keep frizz away and let hair air dry. Wavy, beach-inspired hair screams summer and can give you that carefree look.

Ways to Become More Active Every Day
In addition to working toward at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week, it’s important to avoid being sedentary, when possible. You can do that by making choices that build activity in your day. Some examples include:
• Taking the stairs
• Printing to the printer farthest away from your desk at work
• Getting off the bus or subway one stop early
• Parking in the farthest space from the door
• Walking around while you are on the phone or having walking meetings

Monks, Bread, and Divine Mercy: The Spirtual and Culinary Legacy of the Abbey of the Genesee
BY SUZIE WELLS
The Abbey of the Genesee spans a 570-acre plot along the Genesee River in Piffard, NY and is home to a Roman Catholic community of contemplative monks belonging to the worldwide Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (O.C.S.O.), commonly known as Trappists. Manual work is an integral part of Trappist life, and each monastic community supports itself by the work of its hands. e bakery in Piffard supports the monastery’s primary mission to pray for the world.
e monks of the Abbey of the Genesee have been baking Monks’ Bread since 1953, soon a er the first monks arrived from Kentucky. One of Genesee’s first monks, Br Sylvester, a cook in the US Navy, had baked as many as 400 loaves at a time for his shipmates, so he continued to bake bread for his brothers at Genesee. e monks shared loaves with guests and local tradesmen who volunteered time and expertise to construct the Abbey’s first buildings. Everyone loved the bread and word spread. Monks soon sold bread at local parishes on Sunday mornings and stores asked to sell the famous bread. What started in the monastery’s kitchen soon became a state-of-the-art bakery, baking and selling bread far and wide.
In 2015, Monks’ Specialty Bakery, featuring biscotti, cheese crisps, and fruit & nut bars, allowed older monks no longer able to serve in the physically demanding traditional bread bakery to continue to provide service in a slowerpaced bakery alongside their brother monks. e
Abbey’s Vocation Director, Fr. Isaac Slater, with the Abbey for 24 years, says the Abbey of the Genesee includes monks from across the world with diverse backgrounds, education, and personalities. Fr. Isaac says the common thread among all is grace: “Something – guilt, mortality, some root disillusionment or loss – leads us to see our own weakness in a startling new way, and in the same moment of stark and bitter truth, we discover we are truly, unconditionally loved and accepted as we are.”
To keep alive those moments of love, divine mercy, and communion, Cistercian monks keep a “set program and schedule,” rising early for vigils, fasting, silence, solitary prayer, practicing a fraternal life in poverty, and absorption in the scriptures. Fr. Isaac says, “All of these are meant to keep alive and cultivate the memory of God’s touch in our lives, to keep us plugged in to our deepest heart’s desire.”
Fr. Isaac describes this monastic life as “like a trellis [that] allows the sprawling tangle of [one’s] inner life to reach up and out into full articulation. It’s something like living inside a sonnet: all the compression and limits of the form paradoxically serve a feeling of release and freedom.” While solitary, Fr. Isaac says the monastic life is also “intensely social” with daily opportunities to care for elderly brothers, work to support the community, and extend hospitality to the many guests and retreatants who visit. He explains, “ e atmosphere of leisure and peace, the surroundings and regular practices all serve
to keep one true to his deepest heart’s desire: to grow in union with the Lord Jesus and to radiate His love and mercy to a suffering world.”
Fr. Isaac explains his call to vocation: “When I considered the immense injustice and misery in the world, and that I had only one life to spend, the contemplative life, which relies so totally on divine strength and requires from me only the surrender of my weakness, seemed to make the best contribution.” At his first retreat at a Cistercian monastery, Fr. Isaac felt “deeply confirmed and consoled by these words of St. Isaac of Nineveh: ‘One who knows his weakness is greater than he who sees the angels… e solitary and repentant follower of Christ is greater than he who enjoys popular favor in the churches.’”
Fr. Isaac says he recognized his weaknesses, and he knew that to embrace the gospel fully, he needed a strong support system to keep him focused. He found that vocation in Cistercian monastic life at the end of 1999. Since then, he says, “It’s proved a more challenging, healing, and beautiful life than I could have hoped for, one that has set me free. At the center there is a deep intimacy with the Lord, the chance to live in closeness to Him that would be more difficult in other ways of life.”
e Abbey of the Genesee stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith, community, and the simplicity of a life dedicated to prayer and service. From the fragrant loaves of Monks’ Bread to the serene rhythm of monastic life, the Abbey offers a unique glimpseintoaworldwherethedivineandtheeverydaycoexistinharmony.

STORIES
August 3, 2024 is National Disc Golf Day!
The 1920s are the earliest known games, allegedly. A group of children at Bladworth Elementary School in Saskatchewan, Canada are reportedly the first ones to play a version of disc golf. In 1965 George Sappenfield is on break from Fresno State University and working as a recreation counselor when an idea hits him as he plays golf — he wonders if the kids in his playground would like to play golf with Frisbees, and he is right. The First O cial Disc Golf Course was built in 1975. American toy inventor Ed Headrick installs the first o cial course at Oak Grove Park in Pasadena, Los Angeles County, California — the targets are simply permanent poles. Disc Golf gains mainstream attention in 2015. Disc golf appears on ESPN's Top 10 Plays on SportsCenter, taking this sport into mainstream media, too.

So many people start not feeling good and automatically assume and tell others oh it's only a cold. Or it's only allergies. Many hear those words all the time. You don't know that for sure because Covid symptoms presents as a cold or allergies in some. Please respect others and test yourself as not to spread it to others. It only takes a few minutes. Some people really trying to protect themselves can get very sick. Please be responsible. One can easily spread it to six or seven people, and those six or seven people can spread it to another six or seven people, and so on. Some people can still pass away from Covid if they're sick enough.
Stop the Stink
Cigarette smokers, please don’t stand near entrances to stores or businesses. The smoke is carcinogenic and the wind carries it. And please don’t toss the butts on the ground and walk away. Smoke in your vehicle or your own home. Tossing them out your windows is disgusting, plus it’s littering.

Visit a fair or farmer’s market. The warm weather months are a peak time for outdoor activities, including various community fairs and farmer’s markets. Chances are you can find a farmer’s market nearby most days of the week, but especially on the weekend. A town market or state fair is a great way to get out and walk, play games of chance or enjoy some live entertainment. Check your community calendar for local events.

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* "If you pull all the way into your garage, tack some carpet scraps to the wall that you pull in toward. It will protect the wall's paint, and it will protect your car's bumper if you accidentally rub the wall." -- U.F. in North Carolina
* Stop runs in hose or tights by painting the bottom of the run with clear nail polish. Let dry and repeat. Do this while wearing them, and gently unstick from the skin. It works better when they are stretched as they will be worn, and you don't risk attaching it to the other side of the tights.

Did you know?
While it might be tempting to lower mower blades when summer temperatures reach their hottest, it is possible to cut grass too short. Homeowners who want to cut back on the time they spend mowing their lawns under the hot summer sun should avoid lowering their mower blades too low, as doing so can cause significant damage to the lawn. Lawns that have been cut too low are less capable of surviving drought and are unlikely to thrive. When grass is cut too short, the stem tissue from the grass is exposed, and that exposure can lead to unsightly grass that turns yellow or brown. Grass that is cut too short also may suffer from weaker roots, which in turn makes the grass weaker and less likely to grow in strong. In addition, weaker grass is more susceptible to weed growth, which can be both a nuisance and an eyesore. When mowing, homeowners should remove no more than one-third of the grass blade. Mowing at this height will promote strong roots and protect the grass when the weather gets especially hot in the summer.

EARLY TREATMENT KEY TO MANAGING SEASONAL DISEASES IN CATTLE
(NAPSI) — Two of the more common production-impacting health issues cattlemen see in their herds this time of year are foot rot and pinkeye. Left untreated, each can lead to more serious, chronic health problems.
Foot rot, pinkeye and other common cattle ailments are highly dependent on pasture, weather and other conditions. Foot rot is more problematic when cattle are kept in wet, muddy and manure-heavy lots. Caused by the Fusobacterium Necrophorum bacteria, symptoms include swelling and inflammation between the toes, resulting in lameness and reluctance to walk.
Pinkeye is a highly infectious eye condition that can affect cattle of all ages, often on tall-grass pastures and in environmental situations that can irritate the eye. Flies are a major irritant and vector for the disease, so controlling them and other sources of irritant is critical. Delayed treatment of pinkeye can result in loss of the eye, reduced performance and a less marketable animal.
Fortunately, with timely surveillance and treatment, these infections, along with other diseases, can be easily and cost-effectively managed by producers with a non-prescription injectable product such as Noromycin 300 LA, a highly concentrated, lowdose, fast-acting formulation of oxytetracycline. Effectively used by cattlemen for many years, it is widely available through most farm and veterinary supply companies. Learn more at www.norbrook.com.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS
Take more time off. According to the “State of American Vacation 2016” report from Project: Time Off, American workers failed to use 658 million vacation days in 2015. Vacation is not just a time to get away, but a valuable, effective way for workers to recharge. The APA notes that avoiding the negative effects of chronic stress and burnout requires workers to take time away to replenish and return to their pre-stress level of functioning. Taking time off to disconnect from work and avoid thinking about work can be just what workers need to overcome their work-related stress. And plenty of workers have the time to take off; they just need to take it.

NOW HERE’S A TIP
