My father had a bypass surgery for his heart three years ago and has been doing well, but he also has kidney issues. He didn't get a checkup for two months and now his creatinine shot up from 1.6 to 8.6. Is 8.6 creatinine dangerous for someone with his heart condition? How did it increase so fast? Are there ways to lower it without surgery, and if surgery is needed, is it safe for him given his heart history?

I'm a bit anxious about my recent lab tests. I got both LFT and KFT done, and I'm really concerned about the creatinine and uric acid levels. My creatinine came back at 1.1, and my uric acid is at 7.2. I had chickenpox last December, so I'm wondering if those levels are okay or if I should be worried. What should I do next? I've attached my report for reference.
