2017-09-19 11:28:23
Recently got my reports with abnormal kidney function with creatinine level is high 171 and GFR is low with 43. Is it risky? What should I take care in diet? I am taking daily 2 tablets of hydroxyquinine for rheumatoid arthritis effect. Should I continue this medicine?

Creatinine level is high and GFR is low. Get consultation with a nephrologist regularly both for treatment of the cause and to lessen the harmful effects of raised nitrogenous products. Restriction of protein in diet,avoiding nephrotoxic drugs, avoiding infection&obstruction are the few general principals
