Hi,

Since when she is using volibo for diabetes? It may cause diarrhea in few patients. Diarrhea may elevate the serum creatinine due to lack of perfusion. Also check for drugs which may aggravate the kidney problems.

Follow up the creatinine regularly. If symptoms not improved she may need hemodialysis. Please consult your nephrologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
