Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your baby has Congenital Posterior Urethral Valve detected during routine ultrasound scanning done in antenatal check up.
He had undergone fulguration of the valves two weeks after birth.
His creatinine levels which were high before fulguration are coming down gradually and he is gaining wait which is good sign of recovery.
Normally in most of the cases Kidney function becomes normal (100%) over a period of one year.
Do not worry your baby will be absolutely fine in one years time.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me I shall be happy to help you

Thanks Doctor.
The worry factors are
Fluctuating creatine and high blood acidity and ph (it was 10 last week leek)
But wait gain is good 25gms avg per day.
Do you expect still he will become normal.
I read kidneys can not be recovered. Is it not all true.
Thanks.

Hello
Thanks for follow up.Fluctuating creatinine levels and blood acidity are to be worried about.
creatinine will almost near normal range 1.2 mg within 6 months time.
Nephrons (Kidney tissue) has potential power to regenerate hence Renal damage due to any obstructive pathology recovers completely once that obstruction is removed without scarring ..
I again assure you that your baby will be absolutely normal and fine within a year.
Thanks and Regards.
