A member asked:

A pregnant patient has high serum creatinine. how it can be reduced?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: During pregnancy the kidney actually works harder and increases function and this results in a lower serum creatinine than before pregnancy . Having a higher creatinine means there has been damage to the kidney in the past and the kidney cannot increase its functioning capacity and needs to be investigated.
