Hello
Thanks for query .
Your mother in law sustained fracture of the leg and was hospitalized for treatment .
Unfortunately she developed Pneumonia followed by acute renal failure which compelled Drs to postpone her surgery for fracture .
It is not uncommon in elderly patients to get complication of landing in to multi organ failure after major trauma .
One can not go ahead and perform surgery till her kidney function resumes to normal .
Drs have rightly advised Dialysis to maintain her creatinine levels .This takes a week or two to regain renal function to normal levels till then she has to be on frequent dialysis .
