Scorching 'heat dome' over Middle East makes it feel like 162F in Iran. Iran is enduring a heat index of nearly 72C while Iraq has called a public holiday due to the sweltering temperatures. Iran is buckling under the pressure of a massive heatwave passing across the Middle East, with temperatures feeling like more than 70C.
Yes, the transient increases in creatinine can be caused by dehydration. Dehydration generally causes BUN levels to rise more than creatinine levels. This causes a high BUN-to-creatinine ration. While kidney disease or blockage of the flow of urine from your kidney causes both BUN and creatinine levels to rise.
Then came the third test which showed my creatinine level to be 1.33 mg/dl. Almost to the 1.30 mg/dl mark for my age(36yrs) and other criteria. I came to the conclusion that the reason for my elevated creatinine level was due to the use of creatine. So I jumped back on creatine using the recomended dosages.
