“Can increasing creatinine be reversed?”
My mother is a CKD patient and her creatinine has been increasing constantly. The doctors are monitoring it, but can it ever be brought down in some way?

Sometimes. And that is the goal. A nephrologist knows how to do this.
For many chronic kidney diseases, even with treatment, there is deterioration. However, it may be that evaluation in more detail and changes in treatment will make it better. If she is not being seen by a nephrologist, she may be well served with a referral to one, just to be sure that there is nothing to be changed, or perhaps there is.
