Can creatinine levels affect kidney?
Patient: I am 47 yrs old.Before 2 months I had high blood pressure that went upto 220 then my dr. suggested me to have  a blood test and i found out that my creatinine level was 6.5  and it remained constant after that.Does it affected my kidney...??size of right kidney-8.5 * 3.4 cm......and left kidney measures 9.4 * 4.0 cm.what is the treatment for it? Doctor: Hai,Creatinine level is an indicator for kidney function.high  creatinine level(6.5) shows abnormality in kidney. as you got high blood pressure, it  will increase glomerular pressure results in  loss of functional nephrons (kidney parts). This may lead to elevated blood urea and creatinine.kindly take anti hypertensive drugs with your doctor advise. and check for your creatinine level and get an opinion from a nephrologist for further management.treatment for high creatinine level mainly with food control and water intake.medication comes second.thank youhope i answered your query
