I have less hunger and visited a consultant. My creatinine level is greater than 10. The size of my kidneys has decreased: right kidney 8.8 cm, left kidney 8.5 cm. Cortical echogenicity is raised in both kidneys. The pelvicalyceal system is normal in both kidneys. What does this indicate?

High creatinine, reduced kidney size, and raised echogenicity strongly indicate chronic kidney disease (CKD). Less hunger is also a common symptom. Consultation with a nephrologist is important for further evaluation and planning. Regular monitoring and supportive treatment can help slow progression.

Hello. My creatinine level is 1.4. Over the past six months, it has increased slightly, it was 1.22 earlier. Which doctor should I see?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.

His blood pressure suddenly rises to 250/140, and after hospitalization, his creatinine level is 4.97. Can this condition be treated or cured?
