Blood Test Show High Creatin Level. Ultrasound Done. Bladder Prolapsed Months Ago. Suggestions?

I am a 75 year old woman whose last blood work-up showed high creatinin levels, my physician had me repaet the test this month and levels still high. Today I had an ultra-sound of my kidneys. I mentioned to my Dr that a few months ago my bladder prolapsed and my physician gave me a urogynecology referral to a OBY-GYN and I feel I should be seeing a urologist -- sure don't want to go through that exam twice. What do you suggest--I am in Katy, TX.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As you mentioned that your serum creatinine level was elevated first time . Repeated and again came same reading .
Serum creatinine is if very high ( high ) , it means kidneys are not functioning well i.e. protein may pass in urine .
In my opinion first of all get in urine examination complete . If protein found in urine ( micro albumin) then at once consult an urologist . If protein don't find in urine then once again get in serum creatinine examination , if level elevated then you must consult urologist .
Good luck. Dr. HET
