Hi
Thanks for your query.
If your son has a serum creatinine of 8 then he has kidney failure. He needs to continue regular CAPD.
What is the cause of renal failure and Can this condition be reversed? We need more information about the patient including his lab reports to comment on that.
If it is irreversible then we should start planning for a kidney transplant.
Hope this helps
Good luck
