Kidney Disease

My father has bilateral chronic renal kidney disease. As we consulted with doctor and now he is under dialysis process. The creatinine level is around 6. His physical condition is good otherwise. Is there any way to stop the dialysis process or he can take less dialysis. Any solutions for this disease? Thank you.

It depends on his urine output as well as other parameters like potassium , acid levels, and signs and symptoms like swelling and shortness of breath. Once all these parameters are known and we examine him, we can decide about how many sessions of dialysis per week are required.
