UREA AND CREATININE
Good morning. My mother age 63 is a diabetic patient and recently started with BP medicines as well. In March she was admitted due to severe dehydration and e-coli UTI infection. Creatinine was 4.1 and urea 81. After treatment her creatinine has come down to 3.0 and blood urea 55. Again on July 10 th test was done. She had severe watery loose motions. Her creatinine now is 3.0 but blood urea 92. Does loose motions increase blood urea ? ELECTROLYTES potassium is 5.6 remaining within normal limits. Thank you
