How to lower creatinine levels mayo clinic
My doctor informed me that I have an increased level of creatinine in my body. He said that it could also be the reason why I have faced two back to back miscarriages in two years. Increased creatinine can lead to infertility which has left me utterly anxious. I’m looking for ways to lower my creatinine levels. Can a health expert from mayo clinic tell me how to lower creatinine levels?
