Question 1

creatinine 1.4 no diabetics and no high bp.bun-9 uric acid-4.6 no proteinuria.am i suffering from ckd and what could be the reason?

Accepted Answer

Likely: You likely do have chronic renal insufficiency. See a nephrologist (kidney specialist) for a complete evaluation.

Question 2

respected docs, i had creatinine was 1.06 two weeks ago urea 5, now creatinin is 0.94 urea is 4 but uric acid is 384 (borderline is 340). kidney screening is within normal ranges. what is  the reason of creatinine fluctation.can it be begining of ckd?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: ALL medical tests fluctuate slightly - even when run on the same sample.  1.06 -&gt; 0.94 is well within the margin of error for the test.  Means nothing.  (Why are you checking renal function so often?)

Question 3

can a gout attack (ankle) in the elderly cause mental confusion from high uric acid level?  bun is fine, creatinine is 1.8.  thanks 4 any info.  :)

Accepted Answer

No/may be dehydrated: Gout, by itself cannot cause mental confusion, nor can high uric acid, but dehydration can and with a creatinine of 1.8 in an elderly person, the kidneys may not be working too well and need help, like fluids, so have him drink more fluids and if there is no improvement soon, it would be smart to see the doctor or go to the hospital for more acute hydration  treatment.  Good luck.

Question 4

can an elevated uric acid be a factor on increasing creatinine level?

Accepted Answer

See details: It is usually the result of an elevated creatinine, not the cause of it.

Question 5

if your creatinine level becomes 1.7 because of high uric acid and gout and also because of dehydration. what should you do?

Accepted Answer

Don't Rx a lab value: When i was lifting weights every day, my creatinine stayed at 1.7, which reflects muscle mass if your kidneys are intact. Gout shuts down kidneys only late, and dehydration raises BUN more than it does creatinine. Next time you get blood drawn, be sure you've had a few glasses of water beforehand. I'm not sure how appropriate "ketobest" is for you, or whether Colchicine monorx is right for ur gout.

Question 6

i've had a high creatinine of 1.09, 1.11, 1.13.my bun /creatinine ratio is 10. also i have high uric acid.what does this all mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: These creatinine levels minimally elevated and you're in late middle age. Probably they mean nothing. Please manage any blood pressure / glucose tolerance issues, evaluate whether you are taking any meds you don't need, and follow them.

Question 7

33 year old husband has 7.9 uric acid levels in blood. bun levels and creatinine are normal. is this uric acid level a concern? what can cause this?

Accepted Answer

Diuretics, dehydrati: Diurietics, dehydration, diet.  Review with physician to identify causes and what to do.

Question 8

29y/o male with psoriasis. in the past 6 years, always had high uric acid level in blood tests : 8.6 to 8.8 mg/dl. how do i find the reason and cure ?

Accepted Answer

Cannot: Psoriasis-- like any other auto immune disease has a combination of genetic potential and environmental factors playing the key role in its cause. Sine genes play a big role, cure lies with genes too! Since there is no cure--- management is the key!

Question 9

all my bones/muscles are paining. at a time only one part pains. the pain keeps on shifting. high uric acid 7.1. no inflammation. what's the reason?

Accepted Answer

May be muscular: May be muscular Ask your physician. About fibromyalgia. You need a general evaluation to see what else you have. The elevated Uric acid is not causing this but could be clue to something else. This is not gout.

Question 10

according to a lab test my serum creatinine level is 1.5mg/dl and serum uric acid 3.5mg/dl. is it high?

Accepted Answer

Creatinine high: The serum creatinine is a  high but the uric acid level is fine. The creatinine should not be that high, especially in someone so young. You may want to see a nephrologist.
