A member asked:
72yrs, ckd stage 3 for the past 2 years and a sudden jump of cratinine from 1.9 to 4.0 this week. is it kidney failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CKD: A creatinine of 4 is of concern and the nephrologist will have to evaluate and advise you. This could be a somewhat reversible worsening of kidney function if it was caused by dehydration, intake of certain medications like diuretics or ACE inhibitors, or very high protein intake.
