Creatinine index at 123.35 Micromol/L is defined as kidney failure or not?

Question
Hello doctor, I have a blood test Creatinine = 123.35 Micromol/L (CSBT 62.00 - 106.00), eGFR (glomerular filtration rate) = 57.00 ml/min/1.73m2. Urinalysis was normal, blood urea 6.34 mmol/L (CSBT 2.76 - 8.07). So let me ask, is Creatinine at 123.35 Micromol/L determined to be kidney failure or not? What further examination, consultation and tests do I need? Sincerely thank the doctor.

Hello! With his age, blood Creatinine index 123.35, based on age and index, his glomerular filtration rate is 57 ml/min, corresponding to grade II renal failure.
Renal failure is acute or chronic, if the creatinine status lasts 6 months, it is considered as chronic renal failure. So, with the question "Is Creatinine at 123.35 Micromol/L determined to be kidney failure? “The doctor advised him to visit an endoscopic specialist to determine the cause.
Often some long-term diseases with complications of kidney failure such as high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney stones, prostate tumors... are the most common. There are causes that, if treated, improve or slow kidney failure. Therefore, you need to be examined to find the cause and treat. You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more specific advice from doctors.
