Creatinine 1.6
My father had taken a blood test in February in which his Creatinine was 1.20 and eGFR 67. Recently he had another blood test in which his Creatinine is 1.6. His Creatinine levels have always been around 1.3-1.4. Please suggest what to do for such a sudden increase. He is taking BP and Cholesterol medication.

Is ur father diabetic?
Was an ultrasound of kidneys done recently?
Also, was ther any change in medications recently or any infections history in past 2 months?
What r the BP medications ur father is taking?
These could be acute factors which could worsen creatinine
Pls repeat ur fathers creatinine after 2 week...if creatinine is further increasing, he needs thorough evaluation by nephrologist
Next Steps

Hi
Creatinine level varies depending on many factors including muscle mass, hydration status and even lab to lab variation.
We need to monitor further and evaluate other aspects of kidney disease to determine if it is natural progression or if any reversible acute factors are there.
