So my dad just got test results back, and his creatinine levels are at 7.2. I'm really worried about what this could mean for his health. Can you explain the potential issues high creatinine levels can cause? Also, what steps can we take to try and lower these levels? Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm a patient of Dr. K C Kedia and I've been having some trouble reaching him. I've got a few issues going onmy creatinine level is at 3.56, I'm diabetic, and I have COPD. Lately, I've been having a hard time breathing because of a persistent cough. I've tried using Duolin and Budecort nebulizers twice, but they haven't really helped. Plus, my legs and hands have started swelling up. I'm taking Dytor 10 in the morning and 5 in the evening for that. I'm wondering if there's any antibiotic medicine you could recommend that might bring me some relief? Also, my doctor vaccinated me for influenza pneumonia.

need hospitalization and check creatinine level again and proceed
