Once increased, will the creatinine levels decrease?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Since your creatinine has gradually increased over a period of a year, it will not decrease. In acute settings, like some infection or diarrhea, creatinine will temporarily rise and then comes down. But, in your case, it is a progression of the disease itself. So, it is unlikely to come down significantly. Next thing, a slight increase in creatinine also occurs on initiation of diuretics (Dytor) medicine which will increase your urine output. If your Dytor is initiated recently then it might have caused a slight recent elevation in creatinine. This elevation does not occur due to damage to the kidney but has a different mechanism and there is no need to stop Dytor for it solely. Probably you are not having any symptoms since you are taking Dytor which will prevent edema or fluid accumulation in lungs. So, no shortness of breath.

Your medicines are fine. Keep a check on the blood pressure and it should be strictly under control (less than 130/85). Also, avoid unnecessary medicines like pain-killers, Ayurvedic medicines, etc. And, obviously, sugars should be under control.

Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
