It sounds like creatinine levels are running high — that's definitely something to take seriously. High creatinine is a sign that the kidneys aren't filtering as well as they should be.
There are several approaches that can help slow kidney disease progression:
- Blood pressure medications (like ACE inhibitors or ARBs) to reduce stress on the kidneys
- Diuretics to help remove extra fluid and lower blood pressure
- Dietary changes like limiting salt, processed foods, and added sugars
- Staying physically active — even 30 minutes a few days a week can help
The most important step is talking to a nephrologist (kidney specialist) about what's driving the high creatinine and which treatment plan fits best. They can also refer to a dietitian for a kidney-friendly meal plan.
