A member asked:
What to do if i have a sole kidney, and my doctor told me its not functioning well. so my createnine value is 6.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nephrology referral.: A creatinine level of 6 suggests significant kidney disease regardless of whether there are 1 or 2 kidneys present. You should be under the care of a kidney specialist (nephrologist) who can advise you as to what management is best for you at this time. Don't hesitate.
