I'm really concerned about my younger brother's health because his creatinine level is at 9. I'm trying to understand what the best treatment option might be. If dialysis is necessary, I'm curious about whether a temporary or permanent solution would be more suitable. Could you give me some guidance?

I've noticed my creatinine level went up to 1.46 again, and my protein creatinine ratio is at 0.95. I'm taking Cap Neoral 100100, Azoran 75mg, Wysolone 5mg, Telma 40mg, Prolomet XL 25mg daily, and Inderal 20mg twice. Last month, I had a similar issue with my S.creatinine and creatinine protein ratio, and my doctor increased my dose of Wysolone to 30mg, which brought my creatinine down to 1.2. But now it's back up to 1.46 again. The doctor is suggesting I should go for a biopsy, and I'm kind of stressed about it. Do you think I should proceed with it? I'd really appreciate your advice.

I've noticed that my creatinine level increased to 1.2 recently, while it had been stable at 0.78 for the past two years. Everything else in my blood and urine tests, including urea, came back normal. The one big change in my life is that I started a rigorous workout and muscle-building routine last year, but Im a vegetarian and dont use any supplements. Im not experiencing any other symptoms. Could the rise in creatinine be due to my exercise routine? Should I be worried about this?

The increase in creatinine levels from 0.78 to 1.2 over a year can be attributed to your rigorous workout regime and muscle building. When muscle tissue is broken down during exercise, creatinine is produced as a byproduct. Since you are vegetarian and do not take supplements, the increase in creatinine levels can be considered a normal response to your increased muscle mass. However, it is important to continue monitoring your creatinine levels and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if needed.

I'm a bit worried about my diabetes and recent test results. My urinary microalbumin creatinine ratio test shows a microalbumin concentration of 76.43, urinary creatinine concentration of 19.31, and a microalbumin creatinine ratio of 395.80. I've been taking mucinac 600 tablets, but I haven't seen any improvement. How can I lower these levels?

Your microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio (395.80) indicates early signs of diabetic nephropathy; to reduce microalbuminuria, focus on tight blood sugar control, aiming for an HbA1c < 7%; also, consider the following: maintain optimal blood pressure control (
