My mom had an accident day before yesterday and broke her shoulder joint. Her creatinine is 1.5 and hemoglobin is 6.8, plus she has triple vessel disease that's borderline. She's already on medications is it safe to go ahead with shoulder surgery given her kidney function and heart condition?

Shoulder surgery in a patient with kidney issues and heart disease needs careful evaluation. Consult with both an orthopedic surgeon and a cardiologist to assess the risks before proceeding.
