Hi
From the information given it seems that you have been admitted with kidney infection which can itself make the kidney function worse either temporarily or permanently. However the creatinine was 7.3 on admission which seems to be improving. Normally creatinine levels are generally less than 1.2 and it does not start to rise until atleast 50% of the kidney has been damaged. Hence your doctor has treated you as CKD patient.
It is likely that your creatinine levels will fall further and you may or may not need dialysis in the future but ony continuous monitoring will tell us about the need for dialysis in the future.
Let us keep our hopes alive that the creatinine levels will normalise.
