About Creatinine High

A high creatinine level is not a procedure but a diagnostic finding indicating potential kidney dysfunction. An Internal Medicine specialist manages this condition by conducting a comprehensive evaluation to identify the underlying cause. This involves reviewing medical history, performing a physical exam, and ordering tests like serum creatinine, estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), urinalysis, and imaging studies. The goal is to diagnose issues such as acute or chronic kidney disease, dehydration, medication side effects, or urinary tract obstruction. Treatment focuses on addressing the root cause, which may include medication adjustments, dietary changes, managing blood pressure and diabetes, and, in severe cases, planning for dialysis or kidney transplant.
