What Are The Possible Ways To Reduce Creatinine Level?

Dear Doctor, my Creatinine level is 8-9. I have gone through haemodialysis twice. First one was to reduce my Potassium which rose to 8.5. It came down to 4.3. The second dialysis was to reduce my creatinine. But it seemed has not reduced the creatinine. I have not agreed to go for the third dialysis. Preferred to start treatment by medicines. The Nephrologist gave me Capsule Cudo Forte, Tab. Renelog, Injection Quron ( 3 amples mixed with Normal Saline 250 ml.) for three weeks. Please advise me if I will be cured from Kidney ailment by these medicines. I have totally stopped taking spicy, oily food or any non-veg item. Living only in boiled food as per doctor's advice. My age is 67 years. Potassium level now is 4.00 mmol/L // Sodium 138.00 mmol/L / Blood Sugar Fasting 104, PP 180 / Blood Pressure 80-130 / Urine is clear / I don't have any other symptom of Kidney problem. Your valuable advice is waited. == KENNEDY M.

Nephrologist 's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Looking to your history, i would like to advise you that first discuss with your nephrologist's regarding the cause of kidney failure.
Raised S. creatinine can be due to acute (reversible) or Chronic(irrevarsible) kidney failure.
Both have different treatment approach.
Do basic urine report, Urine protein quantification and sonography.
Dialysis is not a treatment to decrease S. creatinine. It is artificial support for the lost kidney function.
So, don't get panic. Do stepwise approach to kidney disease and determine its nature.
You can get back to me also with above reports and other detailed reports that you have done.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
Dr Jay Patel.
