Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Clot lysis is necessary. Either she needs to be on anticoagulants, or if it is a large clot, catheter induced lysis of clot is necessary.
2. She needs to be more mobile as immobility increases risk of clot formation.
3. Do continue dialysis. Get a PT, APTT and platelet count done. She needs to be on anticoagulants with mild exercises. Physiotherapy is essential. Diet needs to be improved.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
