I was diagnosed with CKD last month and my creatinine was at 4.1. My doctor did a biopsy and mentioned that 820 glomeruli showed shrinking because of IgA. There's no swelling on my face or feet but I'm passing protein in my urine, no blood though. My blood pressure has been around 12585. I'm looking for a second opinion because I've been on medication for the past week but my creatinine has gone up to 7. My doctor still advises continuing with Omnacortil 40 and Sevcar. Is this the right approach, or should I be concerned about the increase in creatinine levels? Would really appreciate some guidance.

I'm really worried about my current health situation. My creatinine level is 3.6 and my eGFR is 19. Is there any way to lower my creatinine or at least stop it from going higher? I've heard about Ketosterilwould it be safe or effective for me to take it to help with my creatinine levels?

Creatinine levels can be managed, but reduction or stopping increase depends on underlying kidney function. Consult a nephrologistKetosteril (ketosteril): Not recommended as primary treatment

What causes high creatinine?

High creatinine level means your kidneys aren't working well. Creatinine level may temporarily increase if you're dehydrated, have low blood volume, eat a large amount of meat or certain medications.
