Hi my father has had myeloma cancer cancer for 4 1/2 years . His kidneys failed in September.
My fathers creatinine level is at 1156 which is high. I know that the reference range is between 62-115.

Nephrologist 's  Response
Hi,

There is no normal range, for patient who is on maintainence dialysis,as the creatinine is not fully dialysable.Therefore even in a patient who is stable and on regular dialysis the creatinine is expected to be moderatly high.
