Hello, My dad is 90 and his creatinine level reached 5.9 three weeks ago. He is scheduled for fistula surgery next week for dialysis. He has drastically changed his diet since the 5.9 reading and his level keeps dropping each week, down to 4.4 now. My question is if it continues to drop to say 3.5, is it possible to hold off on dialysis for awhile even with the fistula in him? His other health issues have all gotten better since he is eating foods that lower his creatinine level. He is also feeling better already. Thanks, Scott
