two years ago my son and a kidney infection of some sort where the kidneys kinda shut down - his blood pressure was sky high, swollen ankles etc.  They admitted him to the hospital for 2.5 days - we left with blood pressure medicine.  He took it for a month - all is well.  This week he went in for a physical, his doctor drew his blood to monitor his levels and said his kidney functions are high - and we are to go in for another blood draw on Friday.  Is this an indication of a serious problem?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has kidney disease and hypertension in past, and he is taking medicine for high blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause kidney damage. His kidney function test shows high range. Mostly it should be high creatinine.  So you should go for complete kidney function test, ultrasound abdomen to search the damage.  If his creatinine is slightly high then its not serious condition. But if it's too high then it is serious condition and needs urgent treatment.  Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
