Nephrologist Dr. Aditya Bhabhe's  Response
Hi
Thanks for the query.
From the description it appears that your son has bilateral small and shrunken kidneys with elevated serum creatinine.
This is known as chronic kidney disease or chronic renal failure stage 5.
At this point you need to see a nephrologist ASAP. He will guide further management which may include discussions about starting dialysis at some point.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
