Hi
First you need to look for the cause for diarrhea. You should do stool examination for routine microscopy and for opportunistic infections. these may give clue to possible pathogens and we may treat by specific antimicrobials.
Second for high creatinine you should do pangraf level to look if doses are high.
Also non infective causes of diarrhea needs to be evaluated in consultation with your doctor.
Take care.
