Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
Your son has kidney failure.Hope a kidney biopsy is done, to find a cause.
Ketosteril is a tablet, given to protect kidney protein metabolism.
It's given when, the GFR falls below 25 ml/min. urine-ACR must be checked.
The blood routine,creatinine,electrloytes and uric acid must be checked weekly.The B.P must be kept in normal levels.Record the urine output daily.
Normal creatinine is 0.6-1.4 mg/ml. So you know that his creatinine is high.
If you've any doubts,contact me with a direct question.
