Dialysis Questions

Hello,

Thanks for your query on Lybrate

"As" per your clinical history is concerned you are doing right treatments and it's alternative treatment is kidney transplant[A kidney transplant involves surgically placing a healthy kidney from a donor into your body. Transplanted kidneys can come from deceased or living donors. You'll need to take medications for the rest of your life to keep your body from rejecting the new organ]

For some who choose not to have dialysis or ...more

Few tips on Diet for kidney disease - have a low protein diet (decrease in milk and its products and also decrease in the intake of pulses and nuts etc)- can use corn oil, sunflower oil, olive oil for cooking -decrease the intake of butter, ghee, cream,coconut etc - avoid farsan food items - whole grain cereals are best for carbohydrate intake - get your blood checked for electrolyte levels regularly and adjust salt in diet as per the report values.

Hi lybrate-user. Quite likely, as you have written that transplant has happened 9 years back, it would be an irreversible disease progression. But it would be important to know about the previous values of creatinine and any renal biopsy. If there are no acute events leading to recent deterioration of kidney function then quite likely the options before him would be dialysis or transplant.

It sounds like he has diabetic nephropathy and its damage to his kidneys caused by diabetes. In severe cases it can lead to kidney failure. But not everyone with diabetes has kidney damage. He needs RNTCP from an govt. Accredited center. Hye needs dialysis and may really need a transplant in the end.

It.is not possible to say that is it curable or not.. but definitely we can delay dialysis with proper Homoeopathic treatment.. and she can live healthily better than allopathic treatment..

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. The case seems fairly complex, in such a situation only the concerned doctors can advise what has to be done and what is appropriate. Please follow the cardiologist's advise. Thanks.

Hi lybrate-user
its unfortunate thay yur dad is undergoing the rigots of treatment
the reports imply end stage renal disease
Unfortunately dialysis is the only option
wel discuss the option of a renal transplant with yur nephrologist as he might require it in near future.
Dialysis is life saving and there are no slternate options to it
thsnks.

Hi Lybrate user. It would be important to know the clinical details like his appetite, leg swelling, nausea, vomiting, his hemoglobin. Need for dialysis does not just depend on creat value. Hence you would need to consult a nephrologist or you can contact me.

Dear Lybrate user, from what I can understand your grandmother is already a patient of ESRD and on dialysis. Such patients are quite high risk for any surgery and especially a major surgery like knee replacement. So for once conservative measures should be tried. Also during dialysis we do give injection heparin which is a form of blood thinner and as you are saying some massage or manipulation was done hence there is also a chance of bleeding into the joint or hemarthrosis which can cause incre...more
