What should be done about elevated creatinine after renal artery embolization?

Patient's question:

I feel extremely painful in my body. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said it was a simple decrease in creatinine after partial renal artery embolism. I feel very scared and worried, but I don't know how I got this disease. Hello doctor, what should I do after partial renal artery embolism and a simple decrease in creatinine?

Doctor's answer:

After renal artery embolism, the blood supply to the kidney is affected, which leads to the inflammation of some kidney cells, resulting in insufficient kidney function and a decrease in creatinine levels. In this case, the primary treatment is to address the cause of the condition. The patient should go to the hospital for an embolism surgery to open up the blocked artery, restoring blood supply and subsequently increasing creatinine levels.
In daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and keep a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
