High creatinine: Before one starts dialysis, a 24 hour urine for creatinine clearance is done to quantify one's glomerular filtration rate (gfr). If the GFR is.

Diagnosis first: You need a diagnosis first to find the likely cause of the high creatinine. This will determine if there are any reversible factors or treatments that are effective. If your 24h urine confirms you are near end-stage renal failure, and there are no reversible causes, treatment options are: blood dialysis (at home or in center), peritoneal dialysis, and renal transplantation.
