What should I do if my creatinine levels keep rising despite treatment?

If your creatinine levels continue to rise despite treatment, it could indicate worsening kidney function or an underlying condition that requires further evaluation. Your healthcare provider may recommend additional tests, such as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) or imaging studies, to assess the extent of kidney damage. Depending on the cause, treatment options may include adjusting medications, changing your diet, or managing conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes more aggressively. In severe cases, referral to a nephrologist (kidney specialist) may be necessary.
