View allI'm concerned about my creatinine levels. They were at 0.9 last month, but now they've increased to 1.4. Is that considered too high? I'm wondering what could be causing this increase, like could it be something in my diet? I'd love some advice on what I might need to avoid or any precautions I could take to bring it back down. What exactly is the normal range for creatinine levels?
A creatinine level of 1.4 is considered high, especially if it's increased from 0.9 in a month. Normal creatinine levels vary by age, sex, and muscle mass, but generally fall between 0.6 to 1.1 mgdL. To lower creatinine levels, consider these dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments: Dietary Changes 1. Low Protein Diet: Reduce or avoid high-protein foods like red meat, eggs, and dairy products. 2. Fiber-Rich Foods: Increase consumption of legumes, fruits (like apples and papaya), and vegetables. 3. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins [2). Lifestyle Adjustments 1. Exercise Moderation: Avoid intense workouts and opt for light exercises like walking or yoga. 2. Salt Intake: Limit common salt consumption to maintain healthy blood pressure. 3. Avoid NSAIDs: Limit use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). 4. Supplement Awareness: Consult a doctor before taking creatine or protein supplements. 5. Quit Smoking: Smoking can damage kidneys and increase creatinine levels.

I've recently gotten my serum creatinine level checked, and it's at 1.13. Is this something to be worried about, or is it normal? I got these results last week, and I'm feeling a bit anxious. Could you please help me understand if there's anything I should be concerned about?
Your serum creatinine level of 1.13 mgdL is within the normal range for adults. The normal range for serum creatinine is approximately 0.6 to 1.3 mgdL for males and 0.5 to 1.1 mgdL for females.

If you have any concerns about your kidney health, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
