First of all you should go for biopsy on emergency basis to know exactly what is happening to vyour kidneys and to asses any reversible component. If you neglect now we would loose an opportunity to do biopsy in near future. once you are advised permanent dialysis measuring creatinine has no value except for assessment of nutrition and adequacy of hemodialysis. Go for biopsy immediately.Best of luck.
