I'm really worried about my mom. She's been diagnosed with sepsis cardiomyopathy and CKD stage 3. What kind of treatments should we be looking into, and what does this all mean for her, like how long she might live?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Sepsis needs to be cured with radical antibiotics,if neglected it would lead to MODS,hence visit your Physician and take appropriate management,for CKD she has to undergo Dialysis twice a week atleast.

I'm really concerned about my grandfather lately. He's been dealing with high blood pressure and hypertension, but now his feet are swelling and he's having chest pains too. He's currently taking gtn sorbitrate 2.6 cr twice a day and amlokind 10 mg, plus he uses a quikhale 250 sf inhaler. Could you help me understand why his feet might be swelling and suggest a medication that might help?
Swelling in the feet can be a common symptom in patients with high blood pressure and hypertension, especially in elderly individuals. It can be due to fluid retention caused by the heart's inability to pump blood effectively. In this case, considering your grandfather's age and existing conditions, it is important to address the underlying cause of the swelling. To help reduce the swelling in his feet, I recommend prescribing a diuretic medication such as Furosemide (Lasix) 20mg once daily. This medication will help to remove excess fluid from his body and alleviate the swelling in his feet. Additionally, given his chest pains, it is crucial to ensure that his heart health is well managed. I suggest adding Aspirin 81mg once daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. Please consult with your grandfather's healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for his specific medical condition.
