A member asked:

I had removed 3 years before one of kidney due to not working since birth.and my creatine level was normal till last test.now it is 1.2, what i do to?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Other causes: Dont take pain medications known as nsaids. Make sure there are no reversible causes- check with your doc. Creatinine should not increase further just because one kidney was removed.
