What Causes Increase In Serum Cretinine?

hello, I am 28 years old, overweight, have high BP, on medication .My recent blood test indicates serum creatinine level 1.2, BUN 14, Uric acid 4, Total protein 7.8, Albumin 4.6, globulin 3.2, ALBUMIN/GLOBULIN RATIO 1.4, CALCIUM 9.7, HEMOGLOBIN 15.0, PHOSPHORUS 2.8. Lipid profile test is also normal. I was having high cholesterol problem also. My initial cholesterol level prior to treatment was 231 about 1 year ago. I was taking Tonact 20, 3 months back I had a lipid profile test that indicate significant reduction in cholesterol to 145 but TRIGLYCERIDES was 198. then my doctor administered tonact TG. At that time my creatinine was 1. but recent test indicates 1.2. Though TRIGLYCERIDES level is 96, but I am worried about Creatinine. Routine urine test is also normal as well as BUN and Uric acid. For Hypertension I use to take Nebicard 5, and Olmezest H20 daily. Should I have to worry about Creatinine? Why Serum cretinine increases?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your serum creatinine level is not very high. so it is not a cause of worry. Your creatinine level is 1.2. It is normal. You should continue your all medication for lipid control & hypertension. No need to worry about creatinine. It can be slightly increased by many non specific cause like exercise. So just repeat your creatinine level after a month. Just be relaxed.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
