Suggest Remedy For Increasing Potassium And Creatinine Level
My mother, age 60 years, is a diabetic for the last 25 years. She also has bp, thyroid and respirartory problems. She is advised to take oxygen for 24 hours at 2-3 points through oxygen concentrator because her lungs are affected due to TB. Now her kidneys are also involved. For the last 2 years her serum potassium level increases to 5 to 6 mEq/l every three weeks then we have to give her K bind sachet and her cretinine level is also increasing. Today her potassium is again 5.47 and 2.33 mg/dL(increasing). Please suggest
