I'm a bit worried about the medication my dad's been prescribed. He's got swelling in his feet, and the doctor recommended Dytor 5. But he's also dealing with sterile pyuria and a urinary tract infection, so he's on other meds for that. Now the doctor said to take Dytor 5 along with half a Cilacar 10 at night and Telma 40. I'm just not sure about these medication combinations. Is this safe to take, especially with his current UTI problems?

My dad's been dealing with kidney disease for the past five years, and we're actively getting treatment. Right now, it seems like his kidney function is between 17 to 19 percent, and his creatinine level is at 5.1. I'm really worried and just wondering at what stage does he actually need to start dialysis, and realistically, how many more years might we be able to prolong his life?

Dialysis will be needed at any point of time once the percentage of kidney function is below 15%. How well a person does on dialysis depends on how well heshe prepares for it. Your patient should get an AV fistula as soon as possible so that dialysis can be initiated in a stress free environment. People can survive on dialysis for years and even decades of proper care is taken.
