VERY possible: The question is why and there are MANY reasons. First, with CKD there is perhaps fluid retention and the person MIGHT have become dehydrated by medication. They might have been given ACE which are protective BUT can (mostly temporarily) increase the creatinine in days not weeks. There can be kidney damage from disease and a failiing kidney is FAR more susceptible
