Creatinine 5.1, left kidney 21cm and right kidney 20.5cm: what does it mean?

With an ultrasound evaluation, the normal kidney size is 9-13cm. Now your kidney size is obviously bigger than the normal ones, which indicates that kidney cyst size is very big now. Because of the enlarged kidney cysts, your kidneys are damaged so that they gradually lose their ability to remove wastes and fluid from body. That is why your creatinine level is far beyond the normal range (0.5-1.3 mg/dL). Generally speaking, when creatinine level is as high as 6-7, dialysis should be started. Now you should be prepare for dialysis. But dialysis can not help you control PKD from the root, because kidney cysts will keep growing. When they are very big, you may have to do surgery to remove your kidneys from body.
