Hi and thank you so much for trusting us with your health query. I am so sorry to hear about this kidney problem your father has. The indication of this dialysis does not really suggest that dialysis would soon be stopped. The reduction in creatinine level is thanks to the dialysis and not a recovery of the renal function. Patients with diabetes and hypertension most commonly go down with chronic renal failure which requires lifelong dialysis as opposed to acute that requires a short term dialysis. Because I lack the information concerning the exact diagnosis and indication for the dialysis, I will suggest you ask the nephrologist what the plan is. The definite way to get a patient with chronic kidney disease off dialysis is kidney transplant. I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services, and please feel free to for more information or clarifications if need be. I wish your father the best of health.
