Your father has most likely chronic urinary obstruction related to prostate hyperplasia resulting in kidney dysfunction. He should be catheterized for 3-4 weeks to see the reversibility of kidney function and it is possible that serum creatinine might decrease. Later, he should have resection of prostate by TURP operation.
