Dialysis depends upon your clinical condition and not just on serum creatinine, so if you are not having any symptoms and you potassium and ABG is normal you may continue conservative therapy. However it is advised you get a AV fistula made.

Its about time to plan for chronic dialysis in near future. Get an Arterio- venous fistula surgery at left wrist to keep veins dilated for starting dialysis. You can then avoid DLC catheter when you need to start dialysis. After creat is 6 mg%, early start of dialysis will protect you body systems from damage.
