My serum creatinine level is 1.5 mg/dL. Does this indicate any abnormality? I consulted a urologist, but he did not mention anything about it.

A serum creatinine level of 1.5 is slightly high, which can happen due to dehydration, high protein intake, or muscle mass. If your urologist is not concerned, it likely means your kidney function is stable. Drink adequate water and avoid excessive protein supplements. If you have swelling, reduced urine, or weakness, follow up. You may get a Serum Urea, Electrolytes, and eGFR test to assess kidney function more precisely. conult nephrologist if needed

Take a Blood Urea Test Test or Take a Electrolytes Test Test

My father is 65 years old and is suffering from hernia. The doctor has advised surgery. During the pre operative examination, his creatinine level was found to be 2.3, and we were advised to consult a nephrologist for further evaluation. Does this creatinine level indicate kidney failure? If yes, to what extent, and how can it be managed? Also, can we safely proceed with the hernia operation? For context, he has diabetes, but his blood pressure and sugar levels are under control.

My father is at CKD stage 5. His creatinine level is 8.5. There is no swelling or urination problem. His hemoglobin is 12. He has been diabetic for the past 26 years and is 50 years old. He also has high blood pressure. The doctor has told us that his kidney has failed due to diabetes. Is there any hope for him except dialysis or a kidney transplant?
