Urologist,  's  Response
hello
Thanks for query .Your father who is 60 years old father is known diabetic has raised serum creatinine level of 7.2 .The raised creatinine level is due to what is called as Diabetic Nephropathy .

Please consult qualified Nephrologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Renal function test

He may ask for doing Renal Biopsy to confirm the stage of renal paranchymal disease .

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
He needs Dialysis at frequent intervals and proper control of diabetes with Insulin.
