Creatinine increase after vomiting
My father's creatinine was 1.49 on 8th September and urea was 40 but last night (1st October night) he developed acidity and he had vomiting and loose motion and today his creatinine is 2.22 and urea is 73. Sir, it is a temporary increase, will it be fine after a week? Please tell me .
Yes. Creatinine may increase after diarhhoea vomiting. But with proper rehydration and treatment it can go down to previous levels. You should also know that previous level of 1.49 is on a higher side. Blood pressure and diabetes should be screened if not done yet. Nephrology consultation is indicated. Plus for this acute event rehydration should be done under physicians monitoring
Next Steps
Repeat kidney function test after 1 week.
Health Tips
Should consult a nephrologist for borderline high baseline s creatinine. Bp and diabetes has to be ruled out if not done yet

Adequate hydration is necessary, and with proper precautions , creatinine will most likely return close to baseline. Some medications may need to be adjusted for quicker recovery.
