Life Expectancy of Dialysis Patient with Creatinine 4.0
"Can you told me the life expectancy of Dialysis with creatinine 4.0? My father is the patient and started dialysis last year, but his creatinine level is still high after the treatment. I am very worried about his condition." After finding the causes of his problem, we can see whether there are ways to help the patient live a much longer life.
So, why does high creatinine 4.0 occur after dialysis?
1) As dialysis temporarily replaces the kidney function to excrete wastes from the body. The creatinine level are an indication of this. If the level is higher, it indicated that he may need to undergo the treatment at more frequent intervals.
2) Another reason can be: Dialysis is just an renal replacement therapy and it is unable to stop the deterioration of kidney damage and improve renal function. Even with this treatment, creatinine level may still increase with the gradual decline of kidney function.
Since the normal life expectancy of a patient on dialysis is 3-5 years, it is urgent to take steps in order to lower creatinine 4.0 fundamentally and largely extend patients' life span.
