CKD- Mild to moderate decrease
My father had a routine check up recently where his creatinine levels are high, that is 1.3 and the normal range is till 1.1. On the basis of that calculation the eGFR is 58 which indicates mild to moderate decrease in kidney function. He does not have blood sugar. He is already taking medication for hypothyroidism and he recently started medication for cholesterol as his cholesterol levels are a bit high. Is there any way to bring down creatinine levels. Can the progress of CKD be delayed? As such he has no symptoms. Uric Acid is 7.4 which is high (normal range till 7.3) BUN is normal.
