Creatinine level is 5.2 - Age 63
Recently my dad got admitted for chest pain I Order to do Angiogram we did a general checkup and found that his Kidney Creatinine leaves is 6.0 and was admitted for 6 days and it gone down to 3.6. Now after a 7 days review his Creatinine level has increased again to 5.2. Doctors suggest Dialysis. Is this the only way to fix the problem or is there a way we could fix it with medication and diet.
Or is there any other method of treatment like Siddha or Ayurvedic. Because people give scary feed back about Dialysis. Even I'm not pretty sure about Dialysis...
Please advise...
Thanks,
Suresh kumar.,

If possible add USG report of prostate and post void urine volume to rule out urological causes.
At this age, we have to rule out both urological and nephrological causes of increased creatinine.
And according to cause we may decide the further treatment.
