Creatinine rising requried kidney monitoring needed. See nephrologist (kidney specialist). Stay hydrated, limit salt, avoid painkillers. Do Serum Urea, eGFR, Electrolytes, Urine Routine.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a Blood Urea Test Test or Take a eGFR Test (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) Test

View allRecently, he had a problem where he was not able to urinate properly, but there was no pain. Creatinine level is 0.88 to 1.2, checked in different labs for repeatability. After consulting two different nephrology doctors, we are confused. One suggests normal kidney function, and the other suggests 20 percent kidney damage with a recommendation for Renosave medicine. We would like to know whether we need to take any medicine to prevent further kidney damage or if we should monitor eGFR to see any abnormality by creatinine level in blood tests? As per doctors suggestion, a DTPA test was conducted to examine kidney function. Following are the test report comments: There is abnormally increased circulating background tracer noted, suggestive of renal parenchymal dysfunction. Bilateral subnormally functioning kidneys without obstruction. Low normal limit of GFR for age greater than 70 ml/min. Kindly clarify and also suggest whether we need to take preventive medicine in this case or not to avoid any kidney damage?
