Hi,
What you have mentioned the level of creatinine and urea is high normal creatinine level is 0.1 - 1,usually to patient with creatinine 7 we admit them in ipd,start with insulin and strict diet control is given and series of creatine blood test are done,
Then patient is started on ace inhibitor and strict diet control is given,
I recommend you to visit a nephrologist get his opinion.
Hope this information helps.
