HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Creatinine is used mainly to assess kidney function and protein in the urine is also a reflection of kidney disease.
You would need to control and treat any conditions that may be affecting kidney function eg diabetes, hypertension
If you have either of these conditions then you need to tightly control to prevent any worsening.
I hope this helps
