Hai,
Creatinine level is an indicator for kidney function.
high creatinine level(6.5) shows abnormality in kidney.
as you got high blood pressure, it will increase glomerular pressure results in loss of functional nephrons (kidney parts). This may lead to elevated blood urea and creatinine.
kindly take anti hypertensive drugs with your doctor advise. and check for your creatinine level and get an opinion from a nephrologist for further management.
treatment for high creatinine level mainly with food control and water intake.medication comes second.
thank you
hope i answered your query
