Elevated efgr and creatinine

[Kidneypressure]

Hello All,

I have high blood pressure and I have renal panel test done every 4-5 months. This is my 4 time and my results came back with increased creatinine 1.68 ( maximum range 1.4) and my efgr was 48. Bun was within range.

Last time when I performed the test 4 months backs the creatinine value was 0.96.

My doctor switched me from tribenzor to axor as my bp reading were normal around 110/70. I test my bp at home weekly and they never cross 120/80.

Can I get my creatinine and efgr values improved or am I professing fast on ckd.

Eating a diet low in red meat and drinking a lot of water can improve your numbers. Dehydration can really mess with your numbers.

That would be a question for your doctor.  Everyone is different.  For the creatinine to be slightly elevated like that, I wouldn't be concerned at this point.  It can change depending on how much protein you consume, if you don't have kidney disease.  If there was anything to be concerned about, I'm sure your doctor would have told you.  Don't let fear consume you.  Stress only makes things worse.
