HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Serum creatinine is used as a reflection of kidney function.
If the change in serum creatinine is acute (for example due to dehydration) then it may be improved by correcting the problem.
In most cases , the increase is due to chronic problems such a high blood pressure and diabetes.
In that case, you may prevent further damage by making sure that you control these conditions very tightly, but you may not be able to reverse the damage that has already occurred.
I hope this helps
