How to get CREATININE in Control

2023-03-18 14:26:09
My Father in law age is 67 and his CREATININE is 1.77 yesterday. We have to go through him with Angiography but due to CREATININE it is on hold. He cannot drink more than 1.5 litres of water in a day as per Doctor advise and I want to ask how we can get CREATININE at 1.4 ASAP. Please advise.

Increased creatinine is a marker of chronic kidney disease and if USG reveals parenchymal changes, it may not be reversible. Hydration is a way to reduce Creatinine, but then, fluid intake should depend on cardiac function (Left ventricular ejection fraction), not just the kidney function. Avoiding nephrotoxic drugs will help.
