Need to find the cause for raised creatinine

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

The best way to control creatinine is to reduce protein in the urine.

I recommend the following

1. Find out how much of protein you are losing in the urine. Protein in urine rises the creatinine. tablets like ace/arb can reduce protein in urine
2. Avoid red meat
3. Avoid weight lifting exercises
4. Tab nephrosave twice daily has given good results in my patients
5. Most importantly make sure bp is within 130/70 at all times

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
