hi My mom is 58 and she is on Dialysis for the last 6 months. her kidney function is 8.5 only. Creatinine level is 11. she goes for Dialysis once in a week. we really want her to come off Dialysis. is there a way for her creatinine level to be lowered so that kidenys can start functioning. Can u advise pls?
HelloThanks for query. Based on your statement your mother has raised creatinine levels and has been on Dialysis. Urea and creatinine are end products of protein metabolism that are excreted by the kidney in urine. The creatinine levels goes on increasing due to chronic parenchymal diseaseUnfortunately Nephrons which is main functioning unit of kidney that excretes these end products in urine do not regenerate once they are damaged in disease process.Hence, one has to continue Dialysis to eliminate these waste products out of the body. It is unlikely that serum creatinine(11) would come down with dietary regime or by medications to the level so that you can avoid Dialysis.  Chat Doctor.
