Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe itching under the ribcage while having gallstones. Well generally, a high serum creatinine level means that your kidneys aren't working well. Your creatinine level may temporarily increase if you're dehydrated, have a low blood volume, eat a large amount of meat or take certain medications. The dietary supplement creatinine can have the same effect. I would suggest you to consult nephrologist first to rule out the possibility of kidney dysfunction . Th priority f nephrologist in case of kidney damage is to maintain blood pressure along with other treatment , which will be given after kidney function test and ultrasound .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
