High Creatinine and BP - Seeking Expert Advice (38 Years Old, Male)

Ans: Hi. I don't think, high blood pressure is the cause for raised creatinine. You need to meet a nephrologist and try to ascertain the cause. Sometimes kidney biopsy also may be required to know the cause. That will give more clarity on the extent of kidney damage and also help us to make the treatment plan.

Ans: There is no curative medicines for chronic kidney disease. You have to take precautions to slow down the progression of disease.

Ans: Please get comprehensive KFT with eGFR done.
It will be important to understand the cause of sudden rise in creatinine levels. Diabetes and other conditions also need to be ruled out.

Once these are available, consult a physician or nephrologist.

Ans: As I have responded as part of other queries, normally, creatinine is in the range of 0.7 to 1.4 in healthy individuals with some increase over period of time/age. Your creatinine parameters are going beyound that range. Since I dont know your age, it is not possible for me to estimate your GFR. However, that value itself is an indicator your kidney functions are compromised.

It would be useful if you get Urine Albumin Creatinine Ratio (UACR) done and which will provide additional information about albuminuria etc.

Effective control of blood pressure would ensure that you can halt deterioration in kidney function. One consultation with Nephrologist will be useful.
