Creatinine clearance is a measure of kidney function. Patients are on dialysis because their kidneys do not function properly thus their creatinine clearance would be very, very low. Some patients may have some residual kidney function but their creatinine clearance would be less than probably 10 ml/min.

What does a 1.7 level of serum creatinine mean?

The creatinine level 1.7 is an alarming sign for advanced kidney disease. In that time people are near end stage renal failure. With prompt and appropriate treatment, renal function can be improved and the creatinine level may be gradually reduced. If not, the damage will worsen kidney disease and kidney function continues to decline, during which creatinine increases gradually and finally dialysis becomes unavoidable.

Can a creatinine of 10.2 drop to 2.8 in 7 hours after dialysis?

Serum Creatinine is probably the most widely used measure of evaluating renal function. Creatinine is a non-protein waste product of creatine phosphate metabolism by skeletal muscle tissue. Creatinine production is continuous and is proportional to muscle mass. Some people may find they have a higher creatinine level on the routine test, so what does that mean? Is it severe?
