Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

A biopsy would determine the etiology why your kidney is currently having problems and your creatinine is increasing. This would be helpful in the management of your kidney problem and would determine what medicine would be needed to treat your case. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for.
