Once he is already a known ckd, and creatinine is 4.4 reducing it is almost not possible unless it's a recent worsening..... Pls furnish his complete reports. If the creatinine worsens he may need dialysis

Please consult a nephrologist. He may need dialysis or renal transplant over the course of time.
