DEAR USER
THANKS FOR WRITING AT HIM
I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN
I HAVE SEEN MANY PATIENTS OF CKD.. THOUGH THE TREATMENT OF CKD BY MEDICATIONS ALONE IS DIFFICULT BUT MEDICATIONS HELP TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT LEVEL OF SERUM CREATININE..
BUT NOT IN ALL PATIENTS
KIDNEY TRANSPLANT IS THE ULTIMATE TREATMENT BUT IF NOT POSDIBLE DIALYSIS HELPS
ABOUT YOUR QUESTION REGARDING WHEN TO DO DIALYSIS
IT IS ASSESED BY YOUR NEPHROLOGIST DEPENDING ON CLINICAL SITUATION AND NOT ON CREAT LEVELS
USUALLY IT'S DONE WHEN YOUR NEPHROLOGIST SUSPECT METABOLIC ACIDOSIS, IF OEDEMA IS NOT GETTING TREATED WITH MEDICATION, IF THERE IS INCREASE IN CREAT NOT CONYROLLED BY MEDICATION
I SUGGEST THAT YOUR MOTHER AVOIDS EATING FRUITS
AND ALSO TALK TO YOUR NEPHROLOGIST HE CAN HELP YOU
HOPE I ANSWERED SOME OF YOUR QUERIES.. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY OTHER CONCERN
