What Should The Creatinine Level After Dialysis Be?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Dialysis is done to remove toxic wastes from the body which is usually done through the kidneys. When there is kidney disease, the toxic substances are retained in the body and this causes serum creatinine levels to go up. By dialysis these harmful substances are removed and this has brought creatinine levels to 4.4 and is a good sign.

Alfoo tablet contains Alfuzosin that is used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland in men. This enlargement of the prostate gland is called Benign Prostate Hypertrophy (BPH). The enlarged prostate gland may cause problems when you pass urine.

If your father in law has got prostate operation done then the size of residual prostate is small and he does not need to take medications like Alfoo. There is no issue on stopping this medication.
