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.
Hello, I have Fabry s disease. I am a 49 year old woman, and my creatinin levels have always been normal. I have been feeling terrible lately (the last 2 years) and found out today my level of creatinin is 1.11. This is a concern because my kidneys must function well or it means the Fabry s disease is having its effect. How do I bring down my creatinin levels and what should my course of action be next?
It is better to estimate the glomerular filtration rate. If the filtration rate is less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 it is an indication of renal function disorder. In light of your medical history you need to refer to a nephrologist to monitor your kidney function regularly and based on the GFR suitable treatment will be given.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
