Hello
Thanks for query .
Your brother who is known to have diabetes and hypertension is detected to have raised creatinine 7 .
Raised creatinine that he has is due to what is called as Diabetic Nephropathy and needs to be investigated further .
Please consult qualified Nephrologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Renal function tests
4) Excretion of protein in 24 urine sample
5) Renal Biopsy (If required) to confirm the grade of Kidney disease.
Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
