Are there chances of kidney swelling and high creatinine in a new born?
Patient: I would like to tell you that my baby is 16 days old and at the time of birth he had braething problem according to the dr. But dr. also found that there was bleeding from the way of urine and also blood in urine it was continuing for two days after that it stoped. As dr. said that the creatinine level is more than 2 and it come down near to 1.5 but it has raised up to 2.4. After that dr found the reason of creatinine high is that there was a obstracle in the way of urinine. They cleared that way of urine. But the creatinine level came down from 2.5 to 2.06 and again it raise up to 2.4. Now dr is saying that the 75% of kidney has been damaged and it was fault from bybirth. That s why the creatinine level is not coming down. I am very much worried about it if the creatinine will not come down and it may cause that I may lost my child. Dr are going to discharge my baby on friday. One thing that dr say there is sweeling in kidney but I have t saw swelling on his body Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM.As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.Kidney obstruction is diagnosed, on ante-natal scans, done before birth.All obstructions(blocks), are re-confirmed by repeating the scan,after birth. If treatable by surgery, kidney function is checked by doing an isotope renal scan, along with the blood tests like Hb, and creatinine. You've not mentioned, how was the obstruction cleared by doctor. I can give an expert opinion, if you send me all the reports,as a direct question, in my name.Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
