Avatar m tn creatinine is high end of normal for men both before tenofovir and now, to knwo how your kidneys are you need 24hrs urine collection for a tests called creatinine clearance (do not use formulas to get it from creatinine they are not high sensibility, get the data from the source by 24hrs urine colletion) what to do? order fibroguard from hepatitistechnologies and give it at least one month to see if creatinine goes down to less than 1.
8521365 tn?1398618067 i also had some problems before starting tdf with creatinine out of range on entecavir so i checked baseline creatinine and creatinine clearance by 24 urine collection when started tdf add on to etv and then recheck creatinine monthly first year and clearance once a year but after the gcmaf therapy, heptech and so diet my creatinine clearance went from 108 to 144, over normal range, super kidneys so i am definitely out of any possible effect on my kidneys
Avatar f tn I had a 24 hour creatinine clearance test done and it showed 2 abnormal results: a high creatinine clearance of 145.7 (I am a 37 y.o. F) and the other was " UR PROTEIN, CALC" which was 230.4 when the reference range is <149.1. The urine protein was <4 so what is the difference between the urine protein and the other UR PROTEIN,CALC? and then there is marginally high, high, and way high--is 230.4 really high? It seems like it. Help!!
Avatar m tn by the way all kidneys tests have very poor sensibility so keep monitoring both creatinine, cretinine clearance (possibly gfr) and complete urine test.it is possible to have kidneys damage but normal cretinine so it is better to double check all those tests, fibroguard of course changed my creatinine clearance too from about 105 to 120 in 4 weeks only if you find proteins or glucose in urine that means severe kidneys damage is happening.
Avatar f tn Routine monitoring of calculated creatinine clearance and serum phosphorus should be performed in patients at risk for renal impairment. Dosing interval adjustment of VIREAD and close monitoring of renal function are recommended in all patients with creatinine clearance <50 mL/min [See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Avatar m tn ” β€œIn clinical practice, however, creatinine clearance is used to measure GFR. Creatinine is produced naturally by the body (creatinine is a metabolite of creatine, which is found in muscle). It is freely filtered by the glomerulus, but also actively secreted by the renal tubules in very small amounts such that creatinine clearance overestimates actual GFR by 10-20%. This margin of error is acceptable considering the ease with which creatinine clearance is measured.
Avatar m tn you can improve creatinine clearance, if it is really low after rechecking, by liposomal curcumin, resveratrol, vit c and glutathione epa+dha 2g daily from fish oil, coq10, 1 tea spoon of baking soda daily
Avatar m tn Check with the lab where you will be drawing blood and giving urine what would be the most convenient way to combine all of the 4 above mentioned tests, as microalbumin and creatinine clearance require urine collection (creatinine clearance also requires blood collection as well, but you'll give your blood anyways for creatinine, cystatin C and optionally fasting glucose). Did anything unusual happen between your previous egfr and current egfr test? Did you (start) taking any medications?
Avatar m tn HR protocol lowered creatinine from 1.14 to 1.03 in 2 weeks, creatinine clearance from 112ml/min to 118ml/min, creatinuria from 1.86g/24h to 1.76g/24h. i also added 90mg daily co-q10 to HR protocol 3 days ago my point is to reach the minimum normal level for creatinine 0.95 which was my baseline value before starting therapy so that if i need to add tenofovir or increase nitazoxanide it will stay at that low level nomral range from creatinine is 0.9-1.
468265 tn?1207540518 No, low creatinine levels don't usually indicate a kidney problem. Low creatinine clearance which results in a "high serum creatinine level" does suggest a renal problem. Usually a low creatinine level is a sign of healthy kidney function but there are exceptions. A greater muscle mass means a higher creatinine level and thus women generally have lower creatinine level than do men.
512560 tn?1222560127 creatinine clearance test, urea clearance test, urine osmolality test, or urine protein test. I hope this helps. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar n tn Talk with your doctor or pharmacist.They are the only ones who should provide you with medication usage/dosage/adjustments, not strangers on an Internet health forum.
Avatar f tn No dose adjustment of VIREAD tablets 300 mg is necessary for patients with mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance 50–80 mL/min). Routine monitoring of calculated creatinine clearance and serum phosphorus should be performed in patients with mild renal impairment [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. 5.3 New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment Tenofovir is principally eliminated by the kidney.
Avatar m tn it prevents kidneys damage from contrast liquids for scans gcmaf may also have an effect by activating stemcells to repair damaged organs, as i already wrote by the diet regimen, heptech antioxidants, heptech and gcmaf i found cirrhosis regression and also kidneys function improved from creatinine clearance 107 to 144 which is even more function than everage kidneys and serum creatinine from 1.1-1.2mg/dl to about 0.8-0.
Avatar f tn The blood urea nitrogen or BUN test is primarily used, along with the creatinine test, to evaluate kidney function. Those with advanced cirrhosis may have an impact on kidney function as their liver function progressively fails. This is why the creatinine level is one the the blood tests that make up the MELD score that determines the need for liver transplantation. Typically when a patient experiences Hepatorenal Syndrome as a result of cirrhosis a HIGH creatinine level is seen.
Avatar n tn he (your physician) definitely should order a 24 Hr Creatinine Clearance and a UA profile. An US should probably be done as well. Keep us posted.
Avatar f tn Hi there, The course of disease and prognosis varies in every patient and may depend on the stage of disease and other parameters like creatinine clearance etc.Pregnancy is usually uneventful unless there is poorly controlled blood pressure, a bad histological picture or poor renal function with a creatinine clearance of less than 70 ml a minute.
Avatar n tn Hi, Aside from creatinine levels, what other tests were done? Creatinine, urea and urate all increase as the kidneys become increasingly unable to cope. A reliable measure of renal function is often expressed to doctors by a creatinine clearance test. Other laboratory tests needs to be done such as urinalysis, X-rays or scans, and sometimes even biopsies of the kidneys to determine the underlying cause. Take care and do keep us posted with the results.
Avatar n tn Normal levels of creatinine in the blood are 0.6 to 1.2 mg per dl in adult males and 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dl in adult females. These are subject to laboratory variations. If there is any discrepancy, you need to go for more reliable measure of renal function, which is creatinine clearance test. You will need further investigations if renal dysfunction is suspected like scans and renal biopsy. Wish you all the best.
Avatar f tn so tdf on hbv studies has 1% of kidneys issues on hbv carriers already having these issues before tdf start if your kidneys are fine from the start, very high creatinine clearance, you ll have no issues.
Avatar n tn After 9-10 days a good number of stone fragments passed throgh the urine and the X-ray shows the complete clearance of stones. I want to know that whether the increased level of creatinine is due to stones or there is the damage to kidney due to some other reasons. Please tell me the chances of my creatinine level to come to normal after complete removal of the stones. The ultra sound and IVP test shows no damage to kidney. please suggest.
