Hi ! With a serum creatinine level of 8.1 I would suggest you to go with the advice of the treating nephrologist instead of taking opinion of many. Although this advice may not be liked, this is what is needed at the moment. Take care.

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Kidney diseases are of two types: Acute and chronic. While chronic disease is irreversible; acute kidney diseases may get better with time.
With the information provided it is difficult to ascertain what kind of disease your husband is suffering from.
At this point he most probably needs dialysis. Whether any other therapy can be tried to bring down the creatinine can be decided only after determining the cause of renal failure.
Your treating nephrologist would be the best person to guide further management.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
