Brief Answer:
To find out the cause is very important to guide you further

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to HCM. I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Your blood reports suggest that your both kidneys have been damaged. Now it is very important to find out that the damage is temporary or permanent. In temporary damage we can recover kidney damage by treating the cause. But in permanent damage complete recovery is not possible, we can only prevent further damage to kidneys.

So, my advice to you is -

1. Kindly mention properly your past illness history and since how many days or months your creatinine is raised. Do you have Diabetes, blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels?

2 . Kindly stop all painkillers usage(if you are taking). You can take Paracetamol and Tramadol occasionally.

3.Go for complete Renal profile and CBC report. It will give perfect idea regarding your kidney to your doctor.
Do sonography of kidneys - it will give idea about damage (whether it is permanent or temporary)

In case of temporary damage due to recent painkillers abuse, infection, dehydration;complete kidney recovery is possible. So kindly give more history to me so that I can guide you further.

Thank you. If you have any more doubts, feel free to ask.

Brief Answer:
Please do reports as per I have suggested.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.. I understand your concerns. We have to rule out first that it's a temporary kidney injury or permanent kidney injury; because it's the most important thing to do.

I have only 3 blood reports of you at present from that we can't decide. So please follow my previous advice regarding investigations.

You should also do blood sugar levels, HBA1c, lipid profile and blood pressure measurements. All this are independent risk factors for kidney disease.

I am assuring you that if you do all this investigations and follow this with your doctor or nephrologist you will definitely get your answer. But don't waste time now and visit your doctor early because if it's temporary injury we can save your kidney.

Meanwhile avoid any kind of painkillers, avoid coconut water and fruit juices as they contain potassium. Drink plenty of water and hydrate your kidney.

You can ask me after your reports will come.. I hope I have given you satisfactory answer.
Thank you.
