Question 1

My serum creatinine level is 1.5 mg/dL. Does this indicate any abnormality? I consulted a urologist, but he did not mention anything about it.

Question 2

My father is 65 years old and is suffering from hernia. The doctor has advised surgery. During the pre operative examination, his creatinine level was found to be 2.3, and we were advised to consult a nephrologist for further evaluation. Does this creatinine level indicate kidney failure? If yes, to what extent, and how can it be managed? Also, can we safely proceed with the hernia operation? For context, he has diabetes, but his blood pressure and sugar levels are under control.

Question 3

My recent blood test report shows:
Creatinine: 1.39 mg/dL
Uric Acid: 6.8 mg/dL
Hemoglobin: 5.2 gm
RBC: 5.1 million/cmm
I am hypertensive and take Metoprolol 25 mg once daily and Telmisartan 20 mg twice daily. I am 38 years old, 6 ft 2 in tall, and weigh 97 kg. How can I lower my creatinine and uric acid levels?

My creatinine level is 1.31 mg/dL. Does this indicate kidney failure? Is it dangerous, and do I need to consult a specialist?

Creatinine 1.31 is slightly high. May be due to dehydration, high protein diet, or early kidney stress. Repeat KFT, and drink more water. Consult if rising further.
