Hello doctor,I want to ask for my mother. Her age is 52 years approximately. She was diagnosed with high blood sugar level (365) two years back after recovering from chikungunya. We did blood sugar tests every month after that but it was never high less than 98 to 110 fasting blood sugar levels. Due to pain around the ankle, we got uric acid tested that came high around 8.8 with normal blood sugar levels. Then after medication and changes in eating habits with more fluid. last month it came to 3.0. But creatinine levels came at 1.12 (1.10 is normal for women). We do not want creatinine levels to go high. What measures should we take?
Hi. I understand all your concerns. Fortunately, creatinine 1.12 is within the normal range with no clinical significance. One of the most effective strategies to keep the kidneys healthy is good hydration specially in the summer months. I recommend repeating the test again after three months.
