here's my medical condition update. i have undergone two times dialysis one spell of 2.5 hours and another 4 hours when my creatinine reached 7.1. Need to consult Doctor to learn about the frequency of dialysis.. Post dialysis and two days, my creatinine is 6.40. Can anybody enlighten me, how much creatinine gets reduced immediately after dialysis and do you think, creatinine of 6.4 now is due to kidney damage in thee two days after dialysis??

When kidney function is normal, creatinine is filtered from the blood through the kidneys. When creatinine levels are high, it can be an indicator of kidney disease. For adults, dialysis is recommended when estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) levels reach approximately 10.0 ml/min.
Normally Dialysis is done to remove excess fid and ourify the blood. It is done for 3.5 Hrs and in some cases 4.0 Hrs It all depends on how much fluid to be removed. The dry weight id determined by the doctor. The patient is weighed before and after dialysis , Dry weight deoends on how much fluid the body can contin and BP
