High creatinine often indicates patient has severe kidney damage, and if a renal patient has 3.8 creatinine level, what will happen to him?

Besides, creatinine level will not have obvious rise until the damaged kidney function reaches two thirds. While 3.8 creatinine level is obvious higher than normal, which means patient may be already in stage 4.
