My dad's been dealing with kidney disease for the past five years, and we're actively getting treatment. Right now, it seems like his kidney function is between 17 to 19 percent, and his creatinine level is at 5.1. I'm really worried and just wondering at what stage does he actually need to start dialysis, and realistically, how many more years might we be able to prolong his life?

Dialysis will be needed at any point of time once the percentage of kidney function is below 15%. How well a person does on dialysis depends on how well heshe prepares for it. Your patient should get an AV fistula as soon as possible so that dialysis can be initiated in a stress free environment. People can survive on dialysis for years and even decades of proper care is taken.

I'm really worried about my mom's health right now. She's been dealing with a urine infection and her creatinine levels got up to 6.62. Theyve come down to 5 in the last three months after treatment, but I'm still concerned. Her blood sugar is stable, but her hemoglobin has dropped to 7.1. She's been having 200ml of double toned milk and 50gm of chicken every day, along with other foods. I'm wondering if beans and peas are safe for her to eat. Also, I've heard about chamomile teado you think it might help lower her creatinine levels?
