At What Creatine Level Dialysis Can Be Stopped And Start Taking Medications?

Hi Sir,

My father is suffering with kidney problem Age 58 , he is going through acute dialysis from last three week, when admitted in to the hospital his creatine level was 11 and now in the latest reports the creatine level is 7. Still going on alternate day dialysis.

He is also a BP, diabatic and heart patient, in the 2D echo report it showed that his heart pumping is 40%.

Please suggest us and let us know that is there a chances of kidney recovery so that we can stop dialysis and start medication.



Thanks advance...

Hi and thank you so much for trusting us with your health query.

I am so sorry to hear about this kidney problem your father has. The indication of this dialysis does not really suggest that dialysis would soon be stopped. The reduction in creatinine level is thanks to the dialysis and not a recovery of the renal function. Patients with diabetes and hypertension most commonly go down with chronic renal failure which requires lifelong dialysis as oposed to acute that requires a short term dialysis. Because I lack the information concerning the exact diagnosis and indication for the dialysis, I will suggest you ask the nephrologist what the plan is. The definite way to get a patient with chronic kidney disease off dialysis is kidney transplant.


I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to for more information or clarifications if need be. I wish your father the best of health.
