Dialysis is a kidney replacement treatment that helps your body filter wastes. Creatinine level 11 is much higher than the normal level (0.5-1.2 mg/dL). Shall I go for dialysis?

The answer is certain. Generally speaking, when your creatinine is as high as 7, you should go for dialysis. because the high creatinine level will further damage your kidneys. But creatinine level is not the only standard to judge whether you should go for dialysis or not. People always go to do dialysis when they feel extremely discomfortable. However, you should remove the creatinine from the blood as early as possible, for your creatinine level is too high. Dialysis is not the only way to cleanse your kidneys. As we all know, dialysis has many side effects, such as muscle cramp, ski itch, nausea and vomiting, etc. That is why some kidney failure patients would rather give up dialysis. There are also other ways both in western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. In western medicine, there are blood perfusion, immune absorption, plasma exchange, CRRT, etc.

In Chinese medicine, there is medicated bath, foot bath, enema therapy, circle therapy and so on to make use of your body to discharge wastes.

In our hospital, we combine western medicine and Chinese medicine. And according to your medical condition, we choose different blood purification treatment to purify your polluted blood.
