My creatinine level has increased from 2.1 to 4.65 this month. I have been under treatment for the last four and a half years. Please suggest what should be done?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A rise in creatinine from 2.1 to 4.65 indicates rapid kidney function decline. Needs urgent review by a nephrologist to adjust or intensify treatment. Causes could include dehydration, infection, medication side effect, or progression of CKD. Avoid painkillers, high protein diet, and over the counter meds.
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Take a KFT with Electrolytes (Kidney Funtion) Test or Take a eGFR Test (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) Test

Hi Sir/Madam, My grandmother has been admitted to the hospital with a creatinine level of 2.1 and a urinary tract infection. She is also diabetic. I would like to know if this condition can lead to dialysis, or if there is a chance that her creatinine levels can be brought down with treatment. If dialysis becomes necessary, how long would she need to continue it? Please guide us.

The patient has a history of diabetes and hypertension, and her recent tests show creatinine of 5 mg/dL and blood urea of 165 mg/dL, suggesting possible end stage renal disease. While we plan to consult a nephrologist, could you please advise on dietary interventions that may help manage her blood profile and support kidney function?
