To decrease creatinine levels, it is important to manage underlying conditions that may be contributing to kidney damage. In your case, with a creatinine level of 3.3 and high blood pressure of 120180, it is concerning and may indicate kidney dysfunction. Controlling blood pressure is crucial in managing kidney function. You can take medications like Losartan at a dose of 50mg daily to help lower blood pressure and protect the kidneys. As for the kidney problem related to damage of Cortical echotexture, it is important to address the underlying cause of the damage. While it may not be possible to completely cure kidney damage, you can slow down the progression of the disease by following a renal-friendly diet, staying hydrated, and taking medications

I'm a patient of Dr. K C Kedia and I've been having some trouble reaching him. I've got a few issues going onmy creatinine level is at 3.56, I'm diabetic, and I have COPD. Lately, I've been having a hard time breathing because of a persistent cough. I've tried using Duolin and Budecort nebulizers twice, but they haven't really helped. Plus, my legs and hands have started swelling up. I'm taking Dytor 10 in the morning and 5 in the evening for that. I'm wondering if there's any antibiotic medicine you could recommend that might bring me some relief? Also, my doctor vaccinated me for influenza pneumonia.

need hospitalization and check creatinine level again and proceed
