Creatine 1.4, bun normal,gfr 56,microalbumin found kidneys functioning at 50%.......what percentage before dialysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dialysis: Usually dialysis isn't performed until one loses about 85 to 90 percent of kidney function. This is just a guideline. The nephrologist makes the decision based on this and other factors.
