What Are The Risks Of Having Dialysis?

Doctor, I'm suffering from ESRD from 1 year. The ESRD was caused due to NSAID. Right now my creatinine is 11. However all other parameters (calcium, phosphorus erc) are within range. I do not have blood pressure or diabetes. I have been advised dialysis. What are the risks with dialysis and what stage should I opt for kidney transplant

Urologist,  's  Response
hello
Thanks for query .You have been diagnosed to have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) with your serum creatinine being 11 which is very high compared to
normal value of serum creatinine (1.2 ).

ESRD is a progressive disease and persistent high levels of creatinine will lead to hypertension and hepatorenal failure .

You should consult qualified Nephrologist for assessment and start Dialysis at frequent and regular intervals to keep your creatinine levels at acceptable minimum levels .

There is no risk involved in dialysis and has to carry on regularly till you are prepared for Renal Transplant .

With creatinine level of 11 you can opt for transplant now itself if matching donor is available .
