I’ve never really had any major issues with lupus/RA, my labs are in the normal ranges at my 6 month checks most of the time but for the first time my creatinine is now elevated. My pcp didn’t act concerned, idk if I should be or not.
I just got test back today i,have trouble drinking water hard to swallow got germs also so I try walking morning helps Any comments on how to like water???
There are serious and not so serious triggers for elevated Creatine. Dehydration can cause it. Sometimes mine is up because I do labs early and I haven’t been awake long enough to get enough water.
I think sometimes things can get missed. Recently, I have protein and ketones in my urine. I have white blood cell casts. My gfr is 60. But my doctor looked at it and never said anything.
Elevated creatinine levels can be a sign of lupus nephritis, which affects up to 50% of people with lupus. Creatinine is a waste product from muscle breakdown that healthy kidneys should filter out. When levels are high, it may indicate the kidneys aren't filtering as effectively as they should.
