If creatinine drops after dialysis, whether to continue dialysis is related to the type of disease and the recovery of renal function. In case of acute renal impairment, there is no need to continue dialysis after creatinine drops to normal after dialysis, which means that you can get off dialysis. In chronic renal impairment, even if creatinine decreases after dialysis, it is temporary and regular dialysis is still needed.
For acute renal failure or drug-induced kidney injury, generally after dialysis treatment, creatinine level will come down, and you can improve the renal function and other tests to see if the kidney function is normal. If the kidney function is normal, there is usually no need to continue dialysis treatment.
If chronic renal failure is treated by dialysis, there is a temporary decrease of creatinine level and renal function is not recovered, in this case, dialysis treatment cannot be stopped. Once the dialysis treatment is stopped, the creatinine level will rise again, which will easily lead to aggravation of the condition and may even develop into uremia. Therefore, chronic renal failure needs to insist on dialysis treatment and cannot be interrupted.
If creatinine level decreases after dialysis treatment, whether to continue dialysis treatment depends on the type of disease and the recovery of renal function. It is recommended that patients who need dialysis should be treated under the guidance of physicians, and should not interrupt dialysis on their own.
