A member asked:

Mom - type 2 diabetic|b.p| creat-6.1, bun -59 (jul 3, 2013). mom followed low protein diet with her medcn & today crea -5.23, bun -60..is it promising?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not much: Although the creatinine improved some a creatinine of either 5.2 or 6.1 is still very high and indicates severe kidney damage has already been done. Your mother should be followed very closely by a nephrologist and try to keep blood pressure controlled sugar is she is diabetic to try and prevent any further worsening.
