Do I need dialysis with creatinine 6.6? It’s no doubt that Dialysis is a fast aid to lower high creatinine level for renal disease patients, however, most patients do not know which creatinine level requires dialysis treatment. Here we consult a kidney expert from Shijiazhuang Hetaiheng Hospital-one largest kidney disease hospital in China, getting the following information.

Creatinine level is the metabolic product of muscle and is secreted into blood stream. And it is an important index of kidney disease. As diseased kidneys fail to filter creatinine from the blood effectively. Therefore, high levels of creatinine build up in blood, resulting in high creatinine level. However, there is one point you should know, elevated creatinine level is not an early sign of kidney disease. For powerful compensatory capacity of kidneys, it does not begin to rise until more than half of kidney function has already been lost.
