At what serum creatinine level would you need dialysis?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
See below: The serum creatinine level which requires dialysis is based on calculation of the gfr, as persons with different weight, sex and race may have have different GFR even with same serum creatinine.Generally speaking when GFR is below 10-15 and patients are symptomatic they need dialysis.

Higher the creatinine , the lower the gfr.

Start of dialysis?: One's creatinine level is rarely the only indication for starting dialysis. Factors such as high potassium or acidosis and symptoms of nausea, vomiting, increased sleep during the day time and itching are more commonly used indicators. Ask your doctor, or go to a nephrologist to get more information. Good luck.
