Elevated serum creatinine levels in children can indicate impaired kidney function. Potential causes include:
- Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Sudden loss of kidney function due to various reasons like dehydration, infection, or medication. - Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Gradual loss of kidney function over time. - Congenital Abnormalities: Structural issues in the kidneys present from birth. - Urinary Tract Obstructions: Blockages in the urinary tract that affect kidney function.
