A member asked:
Hello, my 70yo, 82kg father serum creatinine 2.25. does this require dialysis already? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Not even close to the critical levels. Plus, dialysis is never "required" -- a person has autonomy and may forego it. Follow it, and do what's needed to find a possible treatable cause and slow progression in any case. Best wishes. I am glad that Dad has you to help.
