How To Decrease Creatinine Level While Suffering From Chronic Kidney Disease Due To Diabetes?
My creatinine level went from 1.9 to 2.47 (November) to 3.48 in December and 4.1 on December 30th. A kidney biopsy just showed that the CKD is due to type 2 diabetes. There is a lot of scarring. The renal specialist stated that I may have to go on dialysis in 6 months to a year. What can I do to lower the creatinine? I'm on hydralazine and my sugars are tightly controlled.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The kidney function might be damaged because of some endogenous noxious substance, right now the high dose of diuresis is the option this could some time bring the creatinine value to normal or treating the underlying cause will also correct the level of creatinine, have word with your doctor, take car and have nice day.
