Blood HB- 11 current and same even before. Urine output is fantastic as before.On dailysis day, he becomes more weak than others, as per technician they are giving him low volume of dialysis.

Was his urine output always good, even when the creatinine was 10?
Currently how much volume is being removed during HD?

Hi
He will need adjustment in his dry weight and scheduling of dialysis. Other blood parameters also to be reviewed. And yes we can look for reversiblity I.e. keeping off dialysis and observing creatinine and urine output.
