View allI'm 52 and I've been told I have diabetes with a creatinine level of 1.4. My urine creatinine is 15, which I understand is normal since it's below 30, and there are no proteins found. My HbA1c is 7.9. The Lifespan clinic suggested I see a kidney specialist because they believe my creatinine levels aren't related to my diabetes. Can you help me understand why my creatinine might be high if it's not due to diabetes?
With your medical history of diabetes, creatinine level of 1.4, urine creatinine of 15, and HbA1c of 7.9, it is important to follow up with a kidney specialist for further evaluation and management. It is crucial to address any potential kidney issues to prevent complications and maintain your overall health.

I'm experiencing some swelling in my legs and ankles, and I suspect it might be due to water retention. Can you recommend a medical center or a doctor who specializes in this kind of issue? Also, are there any medicines you would suggest that might help with this?
Swelling of the legs and ankles along with water retention can be indicative of conditions such as edema or heart failure. In this case, a diuretic medication like Furosemide can be helpful in reducing the swelling and managing water retention. The usual dosage for Furosemide is 20-80 mg per day, depending on the severity of the condition. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and prescription of this medication.

I'm 22 and was born with just one kidney. Lately, I've had high blood pressure and my serum creatinine has also gone up. It started at 1.9, then 2.24 after a few days, and on the day of my biopsy, it was 2.34. My eGFR is 40.8. After six days, my serum creatinine was 2.42 and potassium was 3.8. My doctor has put me on BP meds, defocord, and calcium tablets, and wants me to come back in a week. But Im worried. Is there hope for my serum creatinine to return to normal? Do you think Ill be okay again? How come I didnt notice any symptoms from the high BP and creatinine levels?
It's understandable to feel concerned, but with proper treatment, such as BP control, medications, and monitoring, it's possible to manage your condition and prevent further damage. The goal is to stabilize your kidney function and improve your overall health. Many people with high BP and creatinine don't experience noticeable symptoms, so it's important to keep regular check-ups to catch any changes early. Your doctor will guide you through the next steps for optimal care.
