If he has a kidney disease there is no way to decrease creatinine level .While some supplements can help lower creatinine levels, others may make it worse. For instance, many athletes and bodybuilders take supplements containing creatine to give their muscles more endurance. Muscles use creatine for energy, but if it goes unused, it will get converted into creatinine. People who have high creatinine levels should avoid creatine and creatine supplements.

Hi lybrate-user. Quite likely, as you have written that transplant has happened 9 years back, it would be an irreversible disease progression. But it would be important to know about the previous values of creatinine and any renal biopsy. If there are no acute events leading to recent deterioration of kidney function then quite likely the options before him would be dialysis or transplant.
