I'm really worried about my father. He's 80 and has been having serious kidney problems. He hasn't had proper meals for about 4 months and is just on liquid foods now, so you can imagine how weak he's become. He's also got high blood pressure and issues with his lungs, liver, kidneys, and heart. He's struggling with passing urine and stools as well. We recently did an endoscopy, and the results weren't good at all; there were some abnormalities. His kidney problem has reached a stage 4. The doctors have given him meds like dytor10, isosorbide mononitrate, cardipin, czopressco 2.5, metaproxl 25, idiot 20, omeprazole, and ciploric 100. But he's not eating anything. I'm hoping you could suggest some diet tips or precautions I could take. Would it be okay to give him something like B protein powder or pomegranate juice?

All these are age related issues which lead to current scenario.its not possible to advice without clinical examination ,dont worry you are in right hands,follow your doctors advice

I'm really worried because my dad just had some kidney tests, and his creatinine level came back at 1.7. The doctor told us he needs to be admitted right away for dialysis and treatment. Can you help me understand what this means and what we should be doing to handle it?

Creatinine level of 1.7 indicates impaired kidney function. Dialysis is a common treatment for kidney failure to help remove waste and excess fluid from the blood. Your father may need regular dialysis sessions to support his kidney function. In addition to dialysis, medications such as Furosemide and Erythropoietin may be prescribed to manage symptoms and improve kidney function. It is important for your father to follow a low-salt diet, stay hydrated, and attend regular medical check-ups. Follow your doctor's advice closely for the best outcome.
