Renal failure: Renal failure can be classified as prerenal, intrarenal or postrenal- heart failure, glomerulonephritis, bladder outlet obstruction would be examples. Typically an elevated creatinine is not a helpful sign and is associated with increased mortality. Your grandmother has made a life choice for herself. Concentrate on the now. Love and support her. This can last a lifetime of good for her and you.
