What causes high creatinine?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
High creatinine level means your kidneys aren't working well. Creatinine level may temporarily increase if you're dehydrated, have low blood volume, eat a large amount of meat or certain medications.

View allI'm 22 and was born with just one kidney. Lately, I've had high blood pressure and my serum creatinine has also gone up. It started at 1.9, then 2.24 after a few days, and on the day of my biopsy, it was 2.34. My eGFR is 40.8. After six days, my serum creatinine was 2.42 and potassium was 3.8. My doctor has put me on BP meds, defocord, and calcium tablets, and wants me to come back in a week. But Im worried. Is there hope for my serum creatinine to return to normal? Do you think Ill be okay again? How come I didnt notice any symptoms from the high BP and creatinine levels?
It's understandable to feel concerned, but with proper treatment, such as BP control, medications, and monitoring, it's possible to manage your condition and prevent further damage. The goal is to stabilize your kidney function and improve your overall health. Many people with high BP and creatinine don't experience noticeable symptoms, so it's important to keep regular check-ups to catch any changes early. Your doctor will guide you through the next steps for optimal care.
