I was dignosed with kidney problem some time in May,2011. I have been diabitic for the last five years but have been able to manage my sugar levels quite well.I gpt admitted to a well known hospital in India for lung infection in mid June this year. At that time my creatin level was 5.1. During my stay in the ICU they gave me Achromycin IV 4 times. And my creatin level rose to 9.1. It just refuse to come down below 8.7 even after repeated dialysis twice a week. One doctor ,not from the same hospital, told me the hospital has messed up with my kidneys by giving me this medicine repeatedly. Even today after the dialysis today the insisted on giving me this medicine IV. Please advise me .I am totally cofused.
Please treat this as an SOS.

If you messed up your creatinine levels to a point where it rises dramatically, you might be wanting to be screened for kidney failure. creatinine is the waste produced by proteins in our body, and the kidney is the one responsible in eliminating these wastes and keeping creatinine levels at bay. If it goes up, may be your kidneys are having problems eliminating them.

I’m a diabetic so I always thought proteins were something I could eat all I wanted without it affecting me. Well it doesn’t effect my blood sugar, but it messed up my creatine levels. Fish is a good idea though.
