    A person with only one kidney may have a normal level of about 1.8 or 1.9.

    Creatinine levels that reach 2.0 or more in babies and 5.0 or more in adults may indicate severe kidney impairment.

    The need for a dialysis machine to remove wastes from the blood is based upon several considerations including the BUN, creatinine level, the potassium level and how much fluid the patient is retaining.

    This is a fraction high but not panic levels. No doubt the medical staff will watch this. When one reaches 5 you start throwing up so it's really obvious something is wrong.

    I've had much worse and I'm still active and making a nuisance out of myself. Simple diet, no salt, early to bed etc, ~

                                      Good luck both, E

      I'm not a Dietician but avoid salt at all costs. Flavor foods with pepper, if he wants it. but mainly let him eat what he wants to. Cannot say that oats are good for the condition, but not going to hurt either.

      Personally, I eat oats in the form of Muesli every morning.
