Hi Doctor, I have done my blood test and found my creatinine level is 1.39 mg/dl. Please advise if medicine can cure this and what precaution I have to take? Thank you.

Question

Results of the creatinine blood test are measured in milligrams per deciliter or micromoles per liter. The normal range for creatinine in the blood may be 0.84 to 1.21 milligrams per deciliter (74.3 to 107 micromoles per liter), although this can vary from lab to lab, between men and women, and by age. Creatinine levels in the blood can vary depending on age, race and body size. A creatinine level of greater than 1.2 for women and greater than 1.4 for men may be an early sign that the kidneys are not working properly. As kidney disease progresses, the level of creatinine in the blood rises. Your level is not too high High intake of salt, from the diet, can cause problems with blood pressure control and fluid retention. By eating large amounts of protein foods e.g. Meat, fish, chicken, eggs, cheese, milk and yoghurt before commencing dialysis, you will affect the buildup of urea and creatinine in your blood.
