Kidney Disease Cure: What's the latest?

Hi my name is Beatrice. I was hospitalized in March for respiratory distress. When I was in the hospital, a full blood work was done and it was found out that my creatinine level was very high and I was told that I would be on dialysis to regularize it. Since April I have been on dialysis, First I started with 2 sessions a week and progressed to 3 sessions a week which I am actually on now. But I realized that the level keep fluctuating. I m in a French country and I dont know whether I need to convert the figures to get the equivalent to that of the3 US. If not when I did a test in November the level was 45 but when I repeated the test on 22 December it has gone up to 70 which is the reason why I want to what type of food to eat to lower creatinine levels, At the present moment I am on Stage 5 though I had stopped urinating but I have started urinating although not yet as much as I used to. Will be grateful for any ideas. Thank you.

@ayu50, Happy New Year and Welcome to Mayo Connect. Beatrice, I wish that I knew more about kidney disease to share with you. I actually have a liver and kidney transplant, but because my kidney failed suddenly I was given emergency dialysis and only remember doing/eating only what I was instructed to do.

I want to share this information from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services about Chronic Kidney Disease. There you will find this list of topics that look like they cover some of the concerns that you have mentioned.
-The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases:
What Is Chronic Kidney Disease?
Causes of CKD
Tests & Diagnosis
Managing CKD
Eating Right
Preventing CKD
What If My Kidneys Fail?
Clinical Trials

Beatrice, Who is monitoring your care during dialysis? What are they telling you about your CKD?
