My friend 18 years old is suffering from creatinine 12.3 and urea 330 on
dialysis. Could you please provide suggestions on his disease?
Expert answer:
This is Dr. Jane from China and wish you a nice day.We talked about your
friend's kidney condition. Frankly, creatinine being 12 indicates end stage
kidney failure.
Given that he is still young, only 18 years old, and there might not be an
very long kidney disease history. In general, cases that experienced short
illness history have a greater chance to recover well. This is because the
inflammatory damage progressing to sclerotic damage will requires time. I write
you this email in order to learn more about his kidney disease history. Here are
several specific questions.
1. when disease was detected? 2. has he done biopsy test? 3. has him other
physical disease like diabetes? 4. whether serum creatinine showed sharp
increase in recently. 5. if you know kidney size, also let me know. 6. whether
he started dialysis now?
All in all, as long as there is still chance to reverse his kidney condition
Btw, our hospital is located here in Hebei province, nearby Beijing city. I am

me by email to khkpcn@hotmail.com
