Reason of my creatatine level 141, and i have 70% right renal artery stenosis and i have blood pressure for 3 yr ranges from 130 to 140 by 80 to 90.. ?

Combination: Renal artery stenosis can impair renal function and raise creatinine. Renal artery stenosis can cause hypertension. Sometimes bilateral, sometimes unilateral.. Ultrasound can help define, but some need angio and possible intervention.

Unclear. But,: In the american system your 141 is about 1.8 mg/ dl. It means your kidney function is about 50%. Renal artery stenosis 70% on one side only is not enough to cause creat of 141 (1.8). Crucial to check urinalysis. Rule out added kidney condition like thes cause by long term diabetes or hypertension or any other or congenital condition. Your doc will help with this. May need biopsy or nuclear scan.
