My mother's creatinine level is 6.8. Do they need dialysis without it? We do not want to take them to dialysis now. Can their level be reduced in some other way?

High Creatinine is not a sole criteria for dialysis. Other parameters like serum urea, electrolytes, GC of patient are also considered. Secondly whether it is acute failure or chronic. Kindly consult a Nephrologist near to you.
