A member asked:

I have elevated creatinine levels since my urostomy surgery, what should be done to correct this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Evaluation: Elevated creatinine is a marker of decreased renal function, which can have many causes including urinary obstruction and infection which are likely in your case. Please see a nephrologist to have a complete evaluation.
