How to reduce creatinine level?
Patient: Hi, my mother aged 60 had recentrly went both knee replacement. she got some hospital acquired bactirea infrection which leads to plumonary thrombosis. it was cured. our docotor was advised acitrom tablet to maintain PT INR value. due to local lab fault we are unknown that the INR Value is reached to 15.6 and the lab is projecting only 1.5. yesterday only i came to know this, and i rushed to hospital. they told it malena. today when we checked creatinen its 3.9 which was very high. can u pl suggest how to get down the creatinen value atonce. thank you Doctor: HelloThanks for query .Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your mother landed in pulmonary thrombosis secondary to kidney infection and is on anticoagulants and her PT INR is being watched frequently .However her PT INR was raised to 15 and was wrongly reported to be 1.5 resulting into internal bleeding in GI tract which reflected as a malena (Occult blood in stools). and her serum creatinine has been detected raised to 3.9 mg .The raised serum creatinine is likely to be due primarily due to kidney infection and not due to raised PT INR.Consult qualified Nephrologist for assessment .Taking adequate fluids and antibiotics with diuretics should help to normalize her kidney function and lower down her creatinine levels .Dr.Patil.
