Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 32 years (male), for last 5-6 months my urine is very slow. I saw a doctor(3 months back) and after some diagnostitic test we saw that my creatinine is 1.0. From today morning I am feeing pain in my both culf muscle.Can it be a cause of increasing creatinine?
Yes, it may be deep vein thrombosis or so-called DVT although this is not very likely. I mean that clot is formed inside the big leg vessel. So you need to do Doppler ultrasound to rule this. Vein thrombosis which is manifested with unilateral swelling of the leg, pain in calf and lividity of the skin.
Some conditions such as pregnancy, obesity and recent surgery may increase the risk of it. This may be serious if the blood clot travels to the heart and lungs so it should be ruled out as soon as possible and then appropriate treatment can be started. In most cases, it includes strict resting heparin infusions and aspirin. More invasive procedures are rarely required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
