I'm really worried about my uncle who's a dialysis patient and is 67 years old. Usually, his blood pressure hovers around 160180, occasionally hitting 120140, but after his last dialysis session three days ago, it's dropped to 10070. Today, during dialysis, it went even lower, between 8090. What can we do to help increase his blood pressure?

I'm a bit worried about my recent kidney function blood test results. I had it done yesterday, and I saw that my serum creatinine is 0.9 mgdl, BUN is at 10.16 mgdl, uric acid level is 2.7 mgdl, and calcium is 9.34 mgdl. What's got me concerned is that the uric acid level is below the normal range. Is this something I should be worried about or get treated? By the way, I only have my right kidney because I had a nephrectomy on my left kidney at birth. Any advice would be appreciated.
