Hi Sir/Madam, My grandmother has been admitted to the hospital with a creatinine level of 2.1 and a urinary tract infection. She is also diabetic. I would like to know if this condition can lead to dialysis, or if there is a chance that her creatinine levels can be brought down with treatment. If dialysis becomes necessary, how long would she need to continue it? Please guide us.

A creatinine level of 2.1 in your grandmother, especially with diabetes and urine infection, is concerning but not necessarily dialysis level. Often, treating the infection, managing diabetes, and ensuring good hydration can help improve kidney function. Dialysis is usually considered only if kidney function drops further or symptoms continue. Please continue regular monitoring and follow up with your doctor.
Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...
Take a KFT with Electrolytes (Kidney Funtion) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

Hi, please suggest based on the below symptoms and test report. A 64 year old female has creatinine 1.19, phosphorus 4.41, potassium 5.40, and chloride 110.00, all high. HbA1c is 6.2 and fasting sugar is 131, which is high. TSH is 2.88 and controlled. ESR is 16 and C reactive protein is 3.82. Historically, she is taking Telvas 40 for high blood pressure and Eltroxine 100 mg for thyroid, which is controlled in the current report. She was previously diagnosed with high ESR around 90 and high C reactive protein, but this time both are controlled. Please suggest what action should be taken?
