Hi,thanks for query.Drugs given for long time are known to cause damage to the kidneys.If the drugs were discontinued after short period you can not blame the drug.Please look for other reasons like blood pressure,diabetes etc.The creatinine level is very high,take regular treatment and it will come down gradually.Please keep regular follow up with your doctor.
wishing her good health.
