Question about creatinine level

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Creatinine levels at the time of dialysis vary greatly. The determination of

when one starts dialysis does not go by the lab values, but rather how your

body is handling the uremic state kidney failure causes.

One of the main reasons is that body mass has a much greater impact than does

actual lab values. The more body mass you have, the much higher levels you

can tolerate. For instance, we have had some members start dialysis around 5.0

serum creatinine levels, and others not until 10 or 11.

If you were asking to try to determine when you might be expected to need

dialysis, if you have your lab values, you can use this tool to get a prediction

which should be fairly accurate for you.

Hope this helps.

Hello all...I was wanting to know how bad your creatinine clearance

levels were before dialysis?Total protein/24 hour and urine

creatinine/24 hours or other signs.

Thanks

Jeanie,

You can start by blocking the sender. Most, if not all, e-mail service

providers allow you to block certain e-mail addresses. If that doesn't stop the

problem then you will have to contact your e-mail service provider and they can

help you to delete the messages permanently.

Jeanie,

Sounds like a problem you might have to inform AOL about if you was me? What are

the messages you are getting? Assume they aren't IgAN Board ones? Unless you're

referring to the 50 or so that managed to be sent out at the weekend, in which

case delete them all and ignore then, it was just a rogue poster!

Hi

Thanks Dana and evryone else who replied about the emails - I don't seem to

have any more problems - maybe Dave's message did the trick.

Cheers
