Dr. S. Smiley Thakur answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Diagnosis: The creatinine going up does signify a process relating to the kidney, generally. There are reversible causes that have a good prognosis, like dehydration. Ask your doctor to clarify. Has this been going on a long time? How high is the creatinine?
