What would you as a Dr do for a patient who has a high Creatine, 123 umol/L And a eGFR of 43 ml/min/1.73m2? Is this an emergency?

The baseline creatinine (previous value) is crucial to know how much untoward change has occurred in the value.A eGFR 43 is not an emergency, but is considered Grade 3 chronic kidney disease.At times creatinine and eGFR fluctuate with dehydration or acute events.Best to consult with your physician.
