Is Carnisure Recommended For Renal Failure
my brother is 3o yrs old and suffers from chronic renal failure. As a result he often gets severe pain in his legs and joints and back pain. We have evaluated him for everything.but there seems to be no apparent cause for the pain.One of the fellow patients suffering from similar complaints recommended him to try carnisure which was prescribed to him by his doctor. Please advise as to what carnisure is advisable for him and relieve him of he pain. His calcium and phosphate levels are also ok.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
Carnisure isn't given in chronic renal failure patients,as a routine.
Only patients with lower creatinine levels are given it,as a supplement.
Musculo-skeletal pain is a contra-indication for it's use.
In your brother's case,with joints and back pain,it's not safe to use it.
His CBC,creatinine,electrolytes,B.P.and urine output must be monitored.
If you've any doubts,send the reports to me,as a direct question.
