How to control high creatinine levels

[Vikram72]

Hi,

My mother, 60 years, has been suffering from Diabetes for over 15 years. She also has high BP. Recently, she took her blood tests and found that her Creatinine level has shot up to 2.9

What I wanted to know was:

1) Can this creatinine level be brought down?
2) If not, can this be maintained?
3) Is there a prescribed diet or exercise for this?
4) Can she prevent the kidney from furtehr damage?
5) At what level is dialysis required? Can this be avoided?

Thanks,

Vikram

get dialysis done as soon as possible. Haemodislysis is done 3 times a week every alternate day for 3-4 hrs per session. I think you dad will need that done to reduce the creatinine and BUN level. The level is very high and it is toxic. If his kidney is still working even partially, with med they can prolong but the need of the moment is to get the levels down and only dialysis can help.

Hi,
My brother(32) is having smaller size rt kidney than left kidney. And he is having pain from front side rt kidney. He is hospitalised and going on with antibiotic &, painkiller. But his creatinine level is going up and down between 1.8-2.0. Doctor said if his creatinine settles down to normal then they are going to take contrast abdominal ct scan. When i asked about diet for him he told me to cut only fruits, juices and tender coconut water. Its been 1 week since he is going on medication, and today its 2.0.
Can anyone please suggest some helpful advice.
Thank you,
Tashi

Dear Vikram,
I am not sure if it can be brought down, I am a diabetic since 2K and on Insulin+ medicines since 2001. I use to get foamy urine, when I asked doctor he advised me for 24 hour urine proteins check, I was amazed to see that the proteins were more than 12 Gms. I got my KFT done, my creatinines were 1.76. Kidney biopsy confirmed diabetic nephropathy.  Doctors gave me medicines to control Blood Glucose levels and Blood Pressure, I was not given any kidney related medicine. I consulted 5 different Big Nephrologists of Delhi. I reduced eating proteins to the limit of 40 Grams per day and on someone's advice I started doing Pranayama as prescribed by Baba Ram Dev, I also started taking Baba  Ram dev's Medicines for about 9 Months. I do not know what actually has worked, my creatinine  started showing downword trend as son as I started doing all this thing, now in the last six months ( without the medicines of Baba Ram dev) my creatinine  level remains 0.98 to 1.15. which is within the limits, I got my GFR Checked from Dr Lal's Laboratory and it was said to be 76. Now I have problem of frequent Night urination, I have to wake up 4-5 times during the night to Pass urine. 24 hour Proteins also came down to 3 Grams.( Perhaps it is because of eating of less proteins.)   I would suggest u to try Pranayam and u may also consult Vadhiya of Baba Ram dev. keeping BP and sugar level under check is Most Important. Regards, Rakesh

Hello, I have a 6 year old daughter that was born with hydronephrosis in her left kidney and grade 2 reflux in her right kidney. Some time between birth and 1 year old her left kidney dissolved and by age 3 her reflux had went completly away. We had not had any problems until last April when she started complaining of her heart beating fast, after several trips to the ER and Doctor's office we were finally sent to a cardiologist and found out that she has tachycardia which is not all that bad but he was concered with her blood pressure and wanted her to see her nephrologist. We seen her neph and they did a 24hr ambp which showed abnormal blood pressure reading durning awake and sleepng hours we went back to the neph and they said she has secondary hypertension (renal) hypertension and Stage 1 CKD they started her on enilipril we stared out on 2.5mg and now we are at 10mg 1x daily pur last visit they put her on a fluid pill HTCZ 12.5mg and told me to have her blood drawn 2 weeks after she started the new med well I did. Her creatinine levels have been 0.7 since we started having monthly blood work 2 weeks after she started this new med it went up to 0.8. Is there any reason to be worried my biggest fear is that is going to go into renal failuar.

I younger brother will be 39 monday 4-25 and he has suffered with diabetes his entire life. He is blind,heart disease,kidney disease, diabetic neuropathy. He was taken to the hospital a wk ago his bloodsugar was 1100 and his creatine came back 10 which is failure he also was in diabectic ketoacidosis.After 3 days his creatine was brought to a 6.7 and his sugars remained in the 700's. I found out yesterday that he checked himself out of the hospital after agreeing to start dialysis the next day with his kidney dr. He loed to our entire family about everything, he told us he was discharged his Dr. informed us of al the above. He was told at home dialysis is not an option for him and he said he will not do. He told me Thursday that his bladder is full but he can only dribble when he urinates of course when I called his dr. he asked me to take him back to the hospital, my brother got mad at me for getting involved and he decided to take off with a friend for the weekend to an area called cedar key we are in jacksonville. his dr. said he is critical and needs to be in the hospital. I cannot get him to answer his cell phone he said he would call yesterday when he arrived. his dr. said if he makes it back that we need to call 911 or take him to the er. I know yesterday when he yelled his sugar was high, I know he is scared and tired of all the yrs of shots,sickness,pills and being blind and now this. He was told 2 yrs ago that he would need to start dialysis and now we are at this point. I do not know what to do, we lost our Mom 3yrs ago from congestive heart failure. My brother and I are so close we are only 14mths apart. I am so afraid that he went away so he could die. What should we do? If we call 911 he can refuse the trip, if we have him backer acted what would that do. He said he is ready to go home but his dr. said with dialysis he could live 2 more yrs or longer. Please any advise would help. I feel like I let him down by letting him leave like this. Thank for any advise

has your  MIL  seen a dr   and  has he  suggested  seeing  a dietitian?

  A  dietitian  can  better  guide  her  on  the  diet. In  the meantime my  advice  would  be  to  cut  down  as  much  sodiumand  processed  foods  from her  diet.
Also  keep an  eye  on potassium, phosphorus,  and protein.

take  care!
