My opinion is you need more dialysis. My husband was on 3x a week for 3 hrs 30 minutes and his creatinine was too high. Had to change to 3 x per week 4 hrs 15 mins each time and he was fine.

My renal team have told me they don't really care what my creatinine levels are now that I'm on dialysis.  They always expect them to be high.

The PD seems not to remove much creatinine, so creatinine levels are always high for PD patients.

Dialysis doesn't replace normal kidney function, it just keeps us alive, so what you need to look at is your potassium and phosphorus levels.
