A member asked:
How to lower creatinine level in blood. it is 2.8. the reason behind this rise is antibiotic infection. the patient's age is just 23 .?

Difficult question.: One does not treat the creatinine, but the underlying cause of the rise in creatinine. If the rise is due to low circulating blood volume, the correction is fluids and time. Trimethoprim can artificially raise the serum cr by about 0.5 mg/dl.
