I'm sorry that Ludo's creatinine is high. This could mean a couple of things. Creatinine can increase after a eating a meal that has a lot of meat in it. It can be a sign of kidney failure. It's important to have the other values of his blood work to make an accurate diagnosis, such as his BUN. If you have the other values, please post those so we can help you. Best of luck.
