Introduction
If a male has a creatinine level of 98 μmol/L, it falls within the normal range and no intervention to lower creatinine is needed. However, if a female has a creatinine level of 98 μmol/L, measures such as modifying daily diet, medication, or dialysis may be required to reduce creatinine levels. In daily diet, avoid high-salt and high-protein foods. Patients can also take certain medications under a doctor's guidance.

If a male's creatinine level is 98 μmol/L, it falls within the normal range and does not require treatment. However, if a female's creatinine level reaches 98 μmol/L, intervention through dietary adjustments, medication, dialysis, or other methods may be necessary. Detailed explanations are as follows:

  1. Dietary modifications

  The normal creatinine range for adult males is 50–106 μmol/L. Therefore, a creatinine level of 98 μmol/L in males is considered normal and typically requires no special intervention. For females, the normal creatinine range is 44–97 μmol/L. A level of 98 μmol/L indicates a mild elevation, which can be managed by modifying daily diet to reduce creatinine levels. It is advisable to avoid high-salt and high-protein foods in daily meals, as excessive intake of salt and protein may increase the burden on kidney excretion and worsen kidney function.

  2. Medication to lower creatinine

  Patients may also take medications such as Wuduqing Granules or Haikun Shenxi Capsules under medical supervision to promote creatinine elimination and help reduce creatinine levels.

  3. Dialysis

  If creatinine levels continue to rise to the point of renal failure or uremia, medications may no longer be effective. In such cases, patients will require hospital-based treatments such as hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.

  In addition to the above methods, surgical treatment may also be an option. Therefore, when a slight increase in creatinine is detected, patients should seek timely medical care. During treatment, maintaining a positive mood and avoiding excessive fatigue are also important.
