If your creatinine is normal before, probably you have acute insult like infection or drug induced. In these conditions after few sessions you may not need dialysis. If you require dialysis for more than 3 months, probably your kidney function is nil. If you already have established kidney damage prior to this event, your kidney function won't be normalised and better to continue dialysis.
