One of my relatives has been dealing with high blood pressure and their creatinine level was around 3.6. After being admitted to the hospital and getting treatment with English medicine, their blood pressure is now normal, but the creatinine level has gone up to 4.5. I'm a big believer in Ayurveda and was wondering when would be a good time to bring them in for a consultation with you.
