Dr started dalysis as the patient is having creatine level of 5.5-6.2 varying. but when he was in the hospital the creatine level has come down to 3.2 from 7. now alternate days he is undergoing dialysis treatment and the doctors are telling the creatine level is varying in between 5.5 to 6.2. my father used to take only homeo medicine since his childhood. now I want to know is there any medicine in homeopathy for reducing the creatine level?

I am sorry to hear about your father. It looks like he has chronic kidney disease (CKD) from your description. It is a slowly progressive disease due to multifactorial causes such as hypertension,diabetes, recurrent kidney infections,chronic use of painkillers etc. The condition itself is not reversible.
The best option for him would be to continue with dialysis till his metabolic parameters stabilise. The problem is not only the creatinine but the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) which is bound to be low in his case considering his age.
I would suggest the you continue with supportive treatment as advised by your nephrologist and avoid any other medication
