A member asked:

What about risk of dialysis after heart cath and 3 stent w ceratinine 1.5 but before operation in average 2.0 ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cath/dialysis: There is an increased risk of needing dialysis when your creatinine pre cath/intervention is abnormal. The angiographers/interventionalists deal with this everyday and take hydration and dye precautions to decrease this risk. The risks/benefits need to be considered for every procedure and you should discuss with your doctors.
