A member asked:

High creatinine low aldosterone low renin with subclinical primary diabetes insipidus : will desmopressin/fludrocortisone lower creatinine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly : If the high creatinine is from fluid depletion , these agents alone or in combination could reverse your fluid status and allow a more hydrated state. I would be mindful of the possibility of chronic kidney disease as well. Good luck
