Hello
Thanks for query .
Your father who is known diabetic and hypertensive has been detected to have raise Serum Creatinine levels (3.8 and later on 2.6)
Raised creatinine levels suggest what is termed as Diabetic Nephropathy ( Deranged kidney function due to Diabetes).
This is irreversible process and has to be under supervision and guidance of a qualified Nephrologist .
Following general measures will help to keep the creatinine levels well controlled .
1) He should have salt free diet with less proteins
2) Avoid meat or non vegetarian food .
3) Proper control of diabetes with frequent monitoring of blood sugar levels .
4) Proper control of hypertension with drugs .
5) Have moderate exercises or Yogas suitable to his age .
6) Regular follow up and check up by Nephrologist or a Physician .
These measures will keep his creatinine levels well controlled and will avoid further progress of kidney paranchymal disease .
