Accepted Answer

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

 7. Pregnancy-related issues
 
 *Kidney Failure Risk:*
 
 Severe proteinuria increases kidney failure risk if left untreated.
 
 *Complications:*
 
 1. Nephrotic syndrome
 2. Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
 3. End-stage renal disease (ESRD)
 4. Cardiovascular disease
 
 *Immediate Action:*
 
 1. Consult a nephrologist or urologist.
 2. Complete urine analysis and culture.
