Dr. My father has suffering kidney problem. He is 75 years old. His creatinine level is 4.5 is it very much risk for him.? I would like to visit you once with my father. Thanking you Suparna kumar.
Hi Spam, I am sorry for the situation your father is in. Normal creatinine levels are up to 1.2 mg/DL. In older adults (as in case of your father) the creatine might be higher than normal (acceptable level up to 2 mg/DL). In case of your father, the creatinine level is 4.5 which is considered high and is indicating possible kidney problems. I highly recommend consulting with his doctor to determine what is causing such impairment and the best treatment. Possible factors might include:- metabolic diseases (e.g. diabetes)- chronic kidney infection-kidney damages due to medications he takes on daily basis. Hope it was of help! Chat Doctor.
