I don't what to do can i check with another doc. and second question is do I need to turn to the dialysis diet. plz give ur opinion. I am 28 years old.

Hey there. My creatinine did that too after a year or two. It had been less than 1 until it started to creep up. When mine got to 1.9, I had a biopsy done. The doctors couldn't find anything wrong and I basically got the same response you did. We dont know what's going on and did everything.. this was about 4 years ago. Since then, my creatinine has been fluctuating between 1.5-1.7. My primary nephrologist just monitors me and he says as long as its stable and consistent, I'm good. It's going to be almost 9 years soon :). As long as your creatinine maintains the same numbers -below 2, you should he fine. Its after 2+ is where they start thinking of putting you on the list and dialysis later. Drink lots of fluid (preferably 2 liters of alkaline water). Control your red meat intake and exercise

Take care ^^

bacterial and viral infections in the kidney can be found in the kidney biopsy. Have you undergone biopsy? BK virus can raise creatinine. High tacrolimus can raise creatinine.
