A member asked:
Was told i have renal failure and cretin level 7 , can i avoid dialysis . i am on a very heavy diet avoiding sodium, potassium, protin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a nephrologist: Only a kidney specialist can address this question. The underlying cause of your renal failure is likely going to factor in to the answer. With a creatinine of 7 you should already be seeing a nephrologist.
