what is the relationship between taking anesthesia and high blood creatinine level?
Answer Hi there A high creatinine is a sign of a lack of kidney clearance of this by-product of metabolism. This can be caused by many things including dehydration and kidney problems. Anaesthesia in itself is not really an issue for this as long as the anaesthetist is aware of the problem. They will probably ensure you have plenty of fluid and avoid drugs like non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. diclofenac and ibuprofen) which can make your kidneys function less well.
