Hello
Thanks for query .based o the facts that you have posted the patent is known case of cancer prostate and has been admitted in ICU for multi organ failure .
The primary basic cause for multi organ failure is renal failure .
His creatinine levels have dropped down to 5 after dialysis .
This is a positive sign and suggest that rest of the organs will recover gradually and he will come out of crisis .
