Is Chronic Renal Failure, Related With Random Change In Creatinine Levels?
My mother has got UTI due to which acute renel failure occured. Her Creatinine level raised to 4.98 then came down to 4.0 and again raised to 4.5 and then 5.2. Now for two days it is stable at 5.2. Is this a chronic renel problem? She has BP and Sugar which is under control. Will this creatinine level go down? Her age is 62 yrs.

Hello
Yes, this is at least stage 3 chronic renal failure and it's because of her high blood pressure and diabetes.
Her creatinine level may drop some but her kidneys won't get back to normal function at this point. She may need an ACE inhibitor medication to protect them
