Generally speaking, dialysis is commonly suggested to patients when their
creatinine level reaches 5.0mg/DL. As BUN and creatinine levels are two
important indicators of kidney function, people especially with Kidney Failure
usually want to know the answer to this question.
The importance of dialysis.
Dialysis is one of the common methods used to help kidneys discharge the
waste products and toxins in blood. It is regarded as an artificial kidney.
Sufficient dialysis can help relieve the symptoms and control the progression of
the initial disease as well as prevent complications. Normally, patients with
dialysis can live another 5 years. Under some emergent circumstance, dialysis is
a lifesaver.
If your kidney failure is acute, you may need to begin dialysis when your
serum creatinine level is about 442umol/l or BUN level is 21.4mmol/l or more. If
your kidney failure is chronic, you may not need dialysis until your BUN is
28.6mmol/l or creatinine level is 707.2umol/l.
Besides, many other factors also affect the time to start dialysis, such as
high potassium leve, severe edema, acidosis, renal hypertension, etc. If you
have severe complications, you should begin dialysis earlier.
