A member asked:

How to reduce serum creatinine level in a 70 yrs old diabetic lady having diabetic nephropathy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely : If it is truly diabetic nephropathy it cannot be reversed. Sometimes there is increase in acute conditions in which case it may decrease. You can slow down the rate of rise by controlloing bp, blood sugar. Avoid anti inflammatory pain medications.
