First of all, you need to know the reason why the creatinine is 2.7. It is an indicator of the function of the kidney and only when both the kidneys fail does it start to rise. That cause then needs to be corrected. Cancer is a very rare cause of kidney failure and there are other much common causes. Also, the calcium levels can also increase just because of kidney failure. If your doctors are saying he might have cancer then there must be other reasons for them to say so. Also, the level at which dialysis becomes mandatory is 5 or above for serum creatinine, although there are other parameters to consider.
