I'm a bit worried about the medication my dad's been prescribed. He's got swelling in his feet, and the doctor recommended Dytor 5. But he's also dealing with sterile pyuria and a urinary tract infection, so he's on other meds for that. Now the doctor said to take Dytor 5 along with half a Cilacar 10 at night and Telma 40. I'm just not sure about these medication combinations. Is this safe to take, especially with his current UTI problems?

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?
A creatinine level of 1.4 is considered high, especially if it's increased from 0.9 in a month. Normal creatinine levels vary by age, sex, and muscle mass, but generally fall between 0.6 to 1.1 mgdL. To lower creatinine levels, consider these dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments: Dietary Changes 1. Low Protein Diet: Reduce or avoid high-protein foods like red meat, eggs, and dairy products. 2. Fiber-Rich Foods: Increase consumption of legumes, fruits (like apples and papaya), and vegetables. 3. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins [2). Lifestyle Adjustments 1. Exercise Moderation: Avoid intense workouts and opt for light exercises like walking or yoga. 2. Salt Intake: Limit common salt consumption to maintain healthy blood pressure. 3. Avoid NSAIDs: Limit use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). 4. Supplement Awareness: Consult a doctor before taking creatine or protein supplements. 5. Quit Smoking: Smoking can damage kidneys and increase creatinine levels.
