I'm really worried because my blood creatinine level is 5.91mgdl and I've been told that both my kidneys have shrunk in size. I've got normal blood pressure and sugar levels, and I don't have any major diseases, but I've been feeling a lot of bone pain. The doctor mentioned that my kidney function is down to about 50% and gave me some medication to try for a month before deciding if I'll need dialysis. I'm really frustrated with all of this and would love some advice on what I should do next or if there's anything else I can try.

My dad's creatinine level is really high at 9.8 ml, and the doctor is recommending dialysis. Do you think we should go ahead with dialysis or are there any medicine treatments that could be effective instead?
Dialysis is advised to the patient since the creatinine level is too high than the normal . Also Physician opinion is advised.
