Is Dialysis Required After Having Antavan In Stage 4 Kidney Failure?
my husband has stage 4 kidney failure he is at 13% for the last 3 days he has been dizzy weakness in arms and legs oerall feeling of doom he feels like he is dying. We went to the hospital today and they decided to hold off on dialysis because his blood tests show normal potassium and sodium levels. The gave him antavan for his dizzyness and sent him home. He could barely walk the distance it took to get out of the hospital. I don't know if we should demand dialysis or if that is the answer.
