See a doctor: If she is not under the care of a nephrologist, she needs to be; a creatinine level of 8.57 signals that the kidneys are essentially nonfunctional at this point, and dialysis may need to be started depending on the other aspects of the patient, such as electrolytes and fluid status.

Creatinine elevation: This creatinine value indicates kidney insufficiency that is advanced. She requires a nephrologists evaluation as soon as possible to determine how to reverse kidney failure. Safe foods include grain foods, pasta (no sauce), bread, rice, and most vegetables. Avoid tomato and potato and citrus fruits. See doctor and dietitian as soon as possible.
