My creatinine levels went from 100 range to 115 and now 137. The normal rae is 60 to 110 URea is at 6.1 and egfr is at 51.

I am doing more scans, ultrasound, 24 urine test and repeating the blood test.

I have a constant right side stomach pain and have been on abx for 10 months

I plan to increase my water intake and reduce coffee intake starting immediately Started a kidney flush and started with peppermint teat.

Is there anything else I can do to reduce my symptoms

If there are kidney problems, traditional kidney patients usually go on low-potassium diets. My dad has elevated creatinine and BUN from previous damage from a medication that was taken off the market, this was before he got Lyme. So sometimes he has to stick with a low-potassium diet.

Also, some antibiotics are metabolized more by the kidneys than others, so always look into that, too.
