Is There Chances Of Not Having Dialysis If The Creatine Level Is High?

My father just started having dialysis after his creatinine level reached 15.4. Since then he also found blood in his urine. The doctors did cystoscopy today and found a tumor present. They said that they had removed the tumor and sent for some examination. They also said that if everything goes well, he will not have to undergo dialysis. Is this possible??? Till today, he has got 5 dialysis done.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The need for dialysis depends on the clinical status of the patient and blood creatinine levels.
Dialysis also depends on the underlying cause of raised creatinine levels.
If the creatinine was high due to obstruction caused by bladder tumor, removal of tumor will reduce the creatinine levels.
However, if the high creatinine level was due to primary kidney disease, the status of the kidneys has to be assessed to know the requirement of dialysis.

Thanks and take care
