High blood creatinine levels can usually be reduced. If the elevation in blood creatinine is due to acute kidney injury, there is a greater likelihood of lowering it. However, if it results from chronic kidney failure, the possibility of reduction is smaller. Creatinine is an indicator of kidney function; when elevated blood creatinine levels occur, it is recommended to promptly follow appropriate treatment plans under a doctor's guidance.
