concerned over rising creatinine level.

Update: I had my appoint. today - neph.not concerned - he said probably because of my HBP I would have some scarring in the kidneys and since my creatinine levels have been consistent over the past four or five years he thinks monitoring every six months is the way to go. He did do more labs today so we will wait to see what they say before I settle into the monitoring stage.

Here's my update on the "labs"; Everything looked good on the numbers except for one reading, potassium. In trying to eat healthier I started eating dried fruit when I was grazing, not good, high potassium, pushed my pot. level to 4.5, 4.0 is high end of normal. My neph would like to see me go back on Lisinopril but wants me to get the potassium down in the normal range first. Works better. creatinine is back to 1.5 so things are going in the right direction. Doing a lot of research and trying some things that are safe and make sense. I won't share them though until I'm sure they had a positive outcome for me.
