A member asked:

Aunt kidney problem creatinine 17. kidney size normal dr. says chances of revival ofkidney function. biopsy sent. passes urine.can kidney revive age60?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Creatinine of 17?: Are you sure that your aunt's creatinine (c) is 17, not 1.7? If her c is 17, she should be on dialysis. A biopsy would not be done in someone that high a c. If the c is 1.7, it seems that she had a glomerulonephritis, the cause of which needs to be determined for a diagnosis and prognosis. The best way to get more information about your aunt is to call the doctor who ordered the renal biopsy.
