HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if serum creatinine level being increased and it is the case of cardiac disease of arrhythmia so now it could be renal involvement, and may need dialysis, but before this better to get done the all imaging studies like ultrasonography, MRI, it would clear the picture more accurately, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
