My mother is suffering from kidney disease with creatine 8.6 but her hb has risen from 8 to 10 and blood urea has come down from 120 to 66. suggest pl?

It' a good sign: Perhaps, she was started on a medication, called epogen, (epoetin alfa) which stimulates red blood cell production. The fact that her bun came down is probably a good sign.

High creatinine: The creatinine value is very high; most elderly persons need dialysis therapy at that value of creatinine; urea is also very high at 120; a value of 66 is better, but how it dropped matters; is she not eating ?? or did she have a specific therapy for this? she must see a nephrologist and be followed
