I'm really worried about my dad. He's got this kidney issue, diagnosed with CKD, and though he's stable now, today he mentioned he's having trouble urinating and the amount has decreased. I was wondering if giving him Urispas would help with his urination. Do you think it's okay to give him that?

View allMy father had a bypass surgery for his heart three years ago and has been doing well, but he also has kidney issues. He didn't get a checkup for two months and now his creatinine shot up from 1.6 to 8.6. Is 8.6 creatinine dangerous for someone with his heart condition? How did it increase so fast? Are there ways to lower it without surgery, and if surgery is needed, is it safe for him given his heart history?

I'm really worried about my father, he's 64 and his doctor suggested dialysis. His potassium level is 4.1. I'm just not sure if he really needs it right now. What do you think I should do?
Dialysis is usually recommended for patients with severe kidney disease or kidney failure. In this case, since the potassium level is 4.1, which is within the normal range (3.5-5.0 mmolL), dialysis may not be immediately necessary based on this information alone. However, the decision to start dialysis depends on various factors such as the overall kidney function, symptoms, and other laboratory values. It is important to follow up with the doctor who recommended dialysis to discuss the specific reasons for the recommendation and to understand the overall management plan for the kidney condition.
