Hi ... My mom has been diagnosed with high cretinine levels. Since last 8 months she is on medicines. She has no problem in passing urine but even with medicines the creatinine level is shooting up. She started with 4.5 level and now it is around 6.7. Last week her urea was 148.5, after one week it is 141.3. Last week Potassium was 5.34 , now potassium is 5.04, sodium - last and this month same as 135. But creatine level last month 6, but this week 6.7. Now doc has suggested cudo forte med for 2 weeks and see if it comes down .Please help as if the med is ok or not. Please suggest what is the current status for her?
Hi and thanks for the query, The results of the serum creatinine levels are NOT within limits. This therefore compels a critical follow-up and management. Also, the fluctuation means that there might be some underlying fluctuating factor which needs identification. The values of the potassium levels deserve the evaluation by Kidney specialist (Nephrologist). Conditions like diabetes mellitus, hypertension if present must be properly managed. I suggest you book an appointment with a nephrologist for a proper clinical evaluation and management. Thanks and best regards, Luchuo, MD.
