What Is The Treatment For High Creatinine Level?
A routine lab test came back, I believe it was in a metabolic panel but not sure, and my primary called and said the creatine score was high. She noted an average score is 1.18 and mine was 1.25. She said to have the test redone in 3 months and if it had not improved to see a kidney specialist. Does one wait that long between tests and is there anything that one can do--diet etc.?

In general, kidney disease is caused by hypertension and/or diabetes in the majority of patients. Your best bet would be to stay hydrated and keep your blood pressure and glucose under control. Avoid NSAIDS (ibuprofen, etc).
