Question

I'm a 57-year-old Indian male who's been living and working in the Middle East for 31 years. I've been dealing with chronic kidney failure since 2000, with creatinine levels at 150220 umolL, which was stabilized using Diovan 80. I've also been diabetic since 2007. Recently, I had a heart attack, and they put a stent in my LAD with DES. I'm now on aspirin but I had to stop taking Diovan 80. I'm really worriedwill stopping Diovan 80 make my kidneys fail faster?

Having another abortion through pills within a month is not recommended. Medical abortion pills are typically approved for use up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, but repeated use within a short period increases risks. Potential side effects and risks include: - Heavy bleeding - Infection - Uterine perforation - Incomplete abortion

Question

I'm concerned about my creatinine levels. They were at 0.9 last month, but now they've increased to 1.4. Is that considered too high? I'm wondering what could be causing this increase, like could it be something in my diet? I'd love some advice on what I might need to avoid or any precautions I could take to bring it back down. What exactly is the normal range for creatinine levels?
