Hi Sir/Madam, My grandmother has been admitted to the hospital with a creatinine level of 2.1 and a urinary tract infection. She is also diabetic. I would like to know if this condition can lead to dialysis, or if there is a chance that her creatinine levels can be brought down with treatment. If dialysis becomes necessary, how long would she need to continue it? Please guide us.

A creatinine level of 2.1 in your grandmother, especially with diabetes and urine infection, is concerning but not necessarily dialysis level. Often, treating the infection, managing diabetes, and ensuring good hydration can help improve kidney function. Dialysis is usually considered only if kidney function drops further or symptoms continue. Please continue regular monitoring and follow up with your doctor.
Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...
Take a KFT with Electrolytes (Kidney Funtion) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test
