Hi and thank you so much for this query.

From the inforation you have provided, I am concerned that your kidney stones may be interfering with the normal kidney function leading to increased levels of blood creatinine. i would suggest that you meet a nephrologit to evaluate you fully and address these kidney stones as the possible cause of your worsening renal function.

Also, many electrolytes and substances lie uric acid are eliminated through the kidneys. I wouldn't want to immediate conclude that this is the reason of your arthritis but your doctor should look into this possibility as a possible cause.

I hope this information proves helpful to you. For now, drinking much water would be of help but the best thing is to seek a nephrologist consult to address any possible cause. Also, doing tests would be guided by the various findings on physical exam. So get consulted first before we start asking for test that would be otherwise not related to your problem

I wish you well as you take on this issue. Feel free to return to e with ore questions on this. I wish you the best of possible outcomes.

Nephrologist,  Dr. Rammohan S Bhat's  Response
Hi little worrier, welcome to HCM. Its difficult to give opinion based on the information provided by you. Your creatinine level is unlikely to be related to your exercise and you are right about it. Kidney stones are usually made of of oxalate and/or calcium, however a stone analysis or extensive urine tests are required to determine the composition of your stones. Based on the type of stone you may be advised certain dietary restrictions, but most importantly you will benefit from drinking plenty of water daily. That brings me to your kidney function - what is the level of creatinine? if it is too high (which means your kidney function is very low) you may have to restrict your fluid intake. Finally your arthritis - what type of arthritis have you been diagnosed? make sure you get your uric acid level checked - high uric acid can cause kidney stones and arthritis. Hope this helps. Best wishes. RB
