Rise In Serum Creatinine
I'm diabetic since 6 years & hypertensive since 2 years.Diabetes remains under control but bp sometimes get uncontrolled
My serum creatinine level on 11th May was 0.9 mg/dl & on 21st September it came 1.1 mg/dl. (Lab normal : 0.72-1.25).Had low protein diet & adequate hydration the day before the test
However,blood urea & serum potassium came normal at every time
Urine ACR done on 1st August was also normal
USG (KUB+PVRU) done on 4th April was also normal
Took Chlordiazepoxide (Librium) 25 mg twice a day for 1 month which was stopped 1 week before the test
Took a bottle of beer daily for 20 days which was stopped 4 days before the test What might be the cause of such significant rise ?

Get a repeat test done after 1 month
Librium can be one of the reason, in a month it will be almost completely washed away
You can check then
DM and HTN also contribute to deranged renal function

S creatinine should not be more than 1.4 . And Gfr not less than 50. Till then continue normal life and keep yourself hydrated. Beer off and on is fine but it’s not a remedy
