Sir, my father is 46 years old and has diabetes. His blood pressure is 130/40 mmHg. In his recent test, his creatinine is 1.3 mg/dL. Can this be reduced, or is it a permanent condition?

A creatinine level of 1.3 is slightly high but can improve with care. Keep blood sugar and blood pressure well controlled to protect kidney health. Drink adequate water and avoid painkillers unless prescribed. Repeat Kidney Function Test (KFT) regularly to monitor creatinine and other kidney markers. Follow a kidney friendly diet if advised by your doctor

Take a Glucose Fasting and PP Test Test or Take a KFT with Electrolytes (Kidney Funtion) Test

Please check this report and tell me that report is normal or any major problem? Creatinine range in my report is 1.6. Is it a major problem? Can you help me?

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?

Question

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.
