Hello
Thanks for choosing healthcare magic. First you need to know whether it is a acute kidney injury or chronic kidney injury. Please have an ultrasound kub done and see the size of the kidney. If size is normal then mostly it is acute kidney injury and you need to know exact cause why it happened mostly it is cause by acute gastroenteritis, post pregnancy, contrast tests induced and may be due to stones which are obstructed and raised the creatinine. If it is ckd then the kidney size will be small and dialysis and renal transplantation is the only line of treatment.

Thanks
