Hello doctor, My creatinine level is 1.7 mg/dL. I am a diabetic, and I was on regular medication for the same. I also take Nefrosave tablets. My blood sugar levels dropped to 59 mg/dL all of a sudden. My physician advised me to stop taking Glycomet 850. After 10 days, he checked my creatinine level, which was still at 1.7 mg/dL. Please guide me regarding the precautionary measures and the diet I should follow.
Hello. You will need to repeat the urea and creatinine tests after two weeks in order to rule out chronic kidney disease. It is important to attribute this to a particular cause to effectively prevent further increase in creatinine levels. The likely cause could be diabetes or hypertension. So, it is important to get your blood pressure checked frequently, about two to three times a day for up to four days, in order to rule out hypertension-induced damage. I suggest you get the following tests done: If the 24-hour urinary protein is increased, then treatment is very different. So, it is important that you get the tests done from a reputable diagnostic center. I suggest you try doing the following: Consult your physician before taking any medications, including ayurvedic. Avoid painkillers like Nimesulide, Diclofenac, Ibuprofen, etc. Ultracet (combination of Tramadol and Acetaminophen) is a safer alternative. Hope this helps.
