Understanding High Creatinine Levels: Causes & Treatment
Treatment for elevated creatinine depends on the cause:
- Dehydration – increase fluid intake.
- Kidney disease – disease-specific meds, low-protein diet, dialysis/transplant in advanced cases.
- Medications – adjust or discontinue offending drug.
- Muscle damage – treat underlying cause (rhabdomyolysis, trauma).
Consult a doctor for accurate diagnosis and management; self-treatment can worsen kidney function.
