An evaluation for Elevated Creatinine or Acute Renal Failure helps determine whether kidney function is impaired. Creatinine is a waste product filtered by the kidneys; when levels are high, it may indicate dehydration, infection, medication effects, chronic kidney disease, or acute kidney injury. Early assessment helps prevent complications and guides appropriate treatment.
What We Evaluate During Your Kidney Function Assessment:
- Kidney-related symptoms such as swelling, fatigue, nausea, or reduced urination
- Hydration status and electrolyte balance
- History of medications affecting kidney function
- Blood pressure and signs of fluid retention
- Risk factors for acute kidney injury
- Lab testing such as creatinine, BUN, and GFR
- Recommendations for monitoring, treatment, or specialist referral

Took my elderly mother, who is also a cancer patient there looking for a primary care doctor. I have 30 years of experience under my belt of dealing with medical professionals, and I don't give 5 stars easily. The place was immaculate, and we were greeted with smiles when we walked through the door.

Most insurance plans cover kidney function tests when medically necessary. Coverage varies by provider and plan.

Treatment depends on the cause and may require IV fluids, medication adjustment, monitoring, or urgent specialist care.
What should I do if my creatinine levels are rising?
You should schedule an evaluation promptly to determine the cause and prevent further kidney damage.

Telehealth is useful for follow-up discussions, but lab testing requires an in-home or in-clinic visit.

When should I go to urgent care or the ER?
