Nephrologist,  's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM.
High creatinine level indicates kidney dysfunction, not always kidney failure.
It may be acute or temporary dysfunction due to some reason or it may be chronic pr permanent kidney dysfunction.
Do basic urine report, Check BP and do CT scan or sonography.
First determine the nature of kidney dysfunction and then evaluate for cause of it and then treat it.
By this approach, it possible to revert it to normal.
so, don't get worried. Consult your nearby nephrologist or you can get back to me with above reports.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
