My creatinine level is 1.31 mg/dL. Does this indicate kidney failure? Is it dangerous, and do I need to consult a specialist?

Creatinine 1.31 is slightly high. May be due to dehydration, high protein diet, or early kidney stress. Repeat KFT, and drink more water. Consult if rising further.

Can a kidney regain its function after hydronephrosis is treated surgically? Are there any medicines or treatments that can help restore kidney function? The hydronephrosis was caused by a long standing stone blockage.

I had gallbladder surgery in November. Before the surgery, my creatinine was 1.3. I repeated the KFT test in December, and I have attached the report here. Is my report normal? Should I be concerned, and after how many days should I repeat the test? I have also attached my urine routine report.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please check this report and tell me that report is normal or any major problem? Creatinine range in my report is 1.6. Is it a major problem? Can you help me?
