Is Creatinine Level Of 3 In Blood A Cause For Concern?
Question: Hello dear. My father creatinine level is 3 !!! Is this dangerous level & how can we control or reduce this level ? Thanks
Brief Answer:
serum creatinine of 3 is not dangerous
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
High level of serum creatinine shows that kidney are working less. if there is adequate urine and no vomiting and breathlessness then there is no immediate danger. But a high creatinine is a reason of concern as it shows that your kidneys are working very less. you should meet your doctor who will help you find the cause for it- whether it is diabetics , high blood pressure or any other cause. and accordingly treatment has to be started.
another important aspect is that whether this is continuing to increase or is stable that can be assessed by repeating the test after 1 week .
other tests which need to be done are urine routine, ultrasound KUB and serum potassium levels. in your patient potassium is 5.4 . this is more risky. you should stop all fruits and juices and discuss this aspect in detail with your doctor.
Do write in if there is any other query.
best wishes.
