Hi,
Low sodium and high creatinine levels can be indicative of several different health conditions. Low sodium levels can be caused by several factors, including
excessive sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, use of diuretics, kidney disease, hormonal imbalances, or certain medications. The use of diuretics such as Lasix and
spironolactone can also cause low sodium levels, especially if taken in higher doses or for a longer duration.
High creatinine levels, on the other hand, can indicate kidney damage or dysfunction. This may be due to
chronic kidney disease, dehydration,
heart failure, liver disease, or urinary tract obstruction. Your history of
breast cancer and chemotherapy may also have contributed to kidney damage.
It is important to speak with your healthcare provider about your low sodium and high creatinine levels to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment. This may involve adjusting medications or addressing underlying health conditions. Regular monitoring of your kidney function is also important to prevent further damage and maintain overall health.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
