Hi,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com.
I know that you are very concerned about your child but don’t worry.

Creatinine levels are raised in disease of kidney where Glomerular filtration rate is affected.
You should go to a pediatrician and if pediatrician feels then he will refer to other doctor after some tests for kidney disease.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.

If you have any more questions, you can ask me at
