hi my mom is diabetic recently she is had this creatinine level 3.1 so we hospitalized her and that came down.She was prescribed wyslone during that time but the doctor still continued the medicine that has raised her sugar level to 350 which has never happened before.Can it be a side effect she is also experiencing weakness in legs and puffy face
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. I would come up with these possibilities for this high level of serum creatinine & sugar level, This includes.1 Chronic renal failure, diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of both KIDNEYS with M R I. Also confirmed by examination of blood urea level. As your mother is a diabetic patient and puffiness over face is an indication of renal failure.2 Elevated level of blood sugar is not due to cyclone (prednisolone), however puffiness over face may be due to retention of water as a side effect of steroid.3 Weakness in the legs may be due to anemia or hypoproteinaemia. Diagnosis can be confirmed by examination of hemoglobin and protein level. In my opinion consult a urologist and get his opinion. Good luck for your mother.
