About Creatinine High

A high creatinine level is not a procedure but a diagnostic finding indicating potential kidney dysfunction. An Internal Medicine specialist manages this condition by conducting a comprehensive evaluation to identify the underlying cause. This involves reviewing medical history, performing a physical exam, and ordering tests like serum creatinine, estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), urinalysis, and imaging studies. The goal is to diagnose issues such as acute or chronic kidney disease, dehydration, medication side effects, or urinary tract obstruction. Treatment focuses on addressing the root cause, which may include medication adjustments, dietary changes, managing blood pressure and diabetes, and, in severe cases, planning for dialysis or kidney transplant.

PATIENT REVIEW

Sara Chopra, a 58-year-old high school...

Sara Chopra, a 58-year-old high school principal, had always been a pillar of strength for her family and staff. For weeks, she felt unusually tired, with swollen ankles and a persistent, dull ache in her lower back she attributed to stress. During her annual physical, her doctor discovered her creatinine level was 2.1 mg/dL, significantly elevated. Concerned about potential kidney damage, her internist, Dr. Chen, recommended a comprehensive workup including a 24-hour urine collection, renal ultrasound, and blood pressure monitoring to assess her kidney function fully. Sara found the 24-hour urine collection cumbersome and embarrassing, carrying the jug discreetly at work. The ultrasound was painless but filled her with dread as she waited for results. The tests revealed Stage 3a Chronic Kidney Disease, likely from long-standing, untreated hypertension. Post-diagnosis, Sara worked closely with a renal dietitian, drastically reduced her sodium intake, started blood pressure medication, and began gentle exercise. Her creatinine stabilized at 1.8 mg/dL. Emotionally, she moved from denial and fear, worrying she'd become a burden, to determined acceptance. She now sees her diagnosis as a crucial warning to prioritize her health, transforming her anxiety into proactive energy for managing her condition.
