Good evening
Your father has chronic kidney problem and is on treatment for the same.
This CKD problem is getting worsened by repeated stone formation.
Everytime a stone forms in kidney, it causes some damage and also more damage will be caused when that stone comes down and blocks in the ureter. Ot causes back pressure. This can also cause urine infection.
There is treatment to cure CKD or bring down the creatinine to normal. But we can treat to avoid further increase in creatinine
Next Steps
Have to do
24 hours urine profile for Calcium, phosphorus, uric acid, etc to find out which salt is causing the stone.
We can also do a stone analysis directly.
Have to check the level of these salts in blood also.
Also have to do some diet modifications to save the kidney and prevent stone formation
