Suspected root cause: serum creatine (a blood measurement) is an important indicator of renal health because it is an easily measured byproduct of muscle metabolism that is excreted unchanged by the kidneys.A serum creatinine of 1.2mg/dl (110mcg/l) can indicate significant renal disease and systemic toxicity in an elderly female, as the kidney function is depleted.Certain drugs can sometimes cause abnormally elevated creatinine levels.Antibiotics were delivered iv- there is no link established to systemic levels from local delivery.The patient's reading had increased from 1 - normal to 1.8 - high.Suspected root cause of high creatinine level is associated with renal failure, not stimulan rapid cure, which is contraindicated for renal compromised patients.
