A member asked:

My mother age 64 has got the checkup done, and her creatinine level is 9. please suggest can it be cure with medicines or dialysis is the only option?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: On what caused it. If she took some medicine that caused it, it may come down. Best to see a nephrologist quickly if there is no obstruciton or obvious reversible cause.
