Dear Dr Sashini Seeni, my Kidney scan report states that ''Both kidneys are normal in size, however, its echogenicity are isoechoic to the spleen. Corticomedullary differentiation preserved.
Impression: Bilateral renal parenchymal changes. no sonographic evidence of obstructive uropathy.
So may I know that under my condition, is it safe to consume 2mg PROVINACE every day as prescribed by my Family Doctor?
