How Cody Williamson treated high creatinine?

 Note - This article is written by one of our patients about their experiences with high creatinine. 

Everything started when I chose to leave my job and pursue a new career path. I had to get a full blood workup as a requirement of the pre-employment process. I had no idea that this normal test would reveal my increased creatinine level, which was 1.73, which was a shocking finding. I was shocked by the information, and I was immediately filled with worry and apprehension about my health. But I was resolved to take control of the circumstance and implement the necessary adjustments to return my creatinine levels to normal.

I felt uncomfortable and disturbed when my increased creatinine values were revealed. I couldn't help but think about how it would affect my general health and my capacity to perform well in my new position. It was a difficult time as I struggled to comprehend the underlying issues and consider the best course of action.

I started a self-educational journey because I wanted to take back control of my health. I made a point of learning everything I could about creatinine levels and kidney health. With this newfound information, I decided to consult a nephrologist, a doctor who specialises in kidney disorders, for advice. To determine the underlying reason for my increased creatinine levels, the nephrologist performed additional tests.

I developed a detailed strategy for my health during this time. I started by making major lifestyle adjustments, especially in the areas of diet and exercise. I worked with a qualified dietitian who focused on kidney health, and I got great tips on eating kidney-friendly food. I discovered how important it was to control my intake of sodium, processed meals, and foods heavy in potassium and phosphorus. Instead, I concentrated on including lean meats, complete grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables in my meals. Hydration also played a significant part, so I made a point of drinking enough of water all day long.

Along with dietary changes, I adopted a regular workout schedule. My general health was improved by exercise, which also helped to maintain renal function. I exercised in a variety of ways, including yoga, weight training, and aerobic routines. Finding things I actually enjoyed doing was crucial for me since it encouraged sustainability and satisfaction over the long run.

Along with making lifestyle changes, I strictly followed the nephrologist's recommended course of therapy. This required taking drugs as directed to treat underlying problems that contributed to elevated creatinine levels and to support renal health. Monitoring and regular check-ups were essential to determining my development and making any necessary corrections.

Contact a doctor

I learned the value of emotional support and the strength of sharing experiences along my journey. I found comfort in online forums and support groups where people with comparable medical issues could connect and share experiences. The comfort and insightful information gained from hearing about other people's experiences helped people feel more united and resilient.

I inspire others to share their tales as well because my personal transformation has inspired me. We foster a supportive environment where individuals can learn, find comfort, and find inspiration by freely sharing our problems and victories. Nobody should struggle with health issues alone, and by working together, we can improve one other's lives.

I want to emphasise the need of getting expert medical counsel for anyone dealing with excessive creatinine levels or other health concern. Healthcare professionals can offer individualised advice and support because every person's circumstances are different. Self-education, modifying one's lifestyle, and actively managing one's health can also considerably improve overall well-being.
