I am undergoing Dialysis for the last 2 months, started dialysis when creatnine level reached 9.7, now the predialysis creatnine level is 6.8 after 4 days, can this be cured with medicine or transplant is the only remedy?

Thanks for using healthcaremagic. I understand your concern.
Brief answer:Kidney transplantation is recommended.
Detailed answer:
I would say,kidney transplant as the best option for patients with chronic advanced kidney disease,to avoid long term morbidity associated with dialysis and improve the quality of life.Nowadays kidney transplant also considered to be cost-effective than lifelong dialysis. Also conservative treatment with drugs fails to help rather may worsen the kidney's function.Hope I have answered your query.If any further questions, happy to answer you.Thank you.
