She have been taking the medicine and now looking at the reading, the doctor suggest to give her the dialysis. But we are looking for other opinion.

She have no problem in pass urine. Can you advise us what is the alternative way to cure this other than dialysis.

Thanks

Her creatinine levels are increasing because her kidneys are extremely compromised and unable to perform their function satisfactorily. There are no other options, and if her doctor wants her on dialysis, then that is what it has to be. Do you understand that ? There are no cures for damaged kidneys; possibly in this situation because of many years of untreated medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol.

Passing urine is not the problem here.
