Age 70 he has got stent in 2014 and is taking heat medicines for blood thinning and cholesterol control. Recently he faced ulcer bleeding two weeks before and now he is in recovery. But suddenly the serum creatinine is high (1.8) and hb 8.9 only. potassium level is normal. When we checked creatinine at the time of discharging and during hospitalization the creatinine was normal and 1.1 only. What is the cause for this raised creatinine? What kind of home remedies can be followed for reducing the level? Which fruits and vegetables, food are compatible for both ulcer and high creatinine? This level can be reversed? Within a month why this much difference in the level? He used to take urad and moong dal mix with milk. Also Channa dal as a snack and beetroot juice often. This mix causes this issue? Or medicines created this high creatinine?
