Specializes in Internal Medicine

Realize: That reducing your creatinine is more so related to fixing what your "kidney problem" was. This is what you likely need to focus on, but it hard to guide you without understanding what your problem was. You should be careful about NSAID use(like ibuprofen or naproxen) as these drugs can harm your kidney function.
