Your mother creatinine (6.7) and urea (144) levels suggest severe kidney dysfunction. If she refuses dialysis, manage with strict fluid restriction, low protein diet, and medicines under nephrologist care. Discuss options and risks openly with family.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a 16 year old CKD patient. I have been on dialysis for one month, three times a week. I was hospitalized on 2nd October when my creatinine was 13.50. On 5th October, my creatinine reduced to 6.40. Now my creatinine is 10.30 before dialysis. As per the report of 9th October, urine albumin and occult blood are present, pus cells are 6 to 8/hpf, and RBC is 2 to 3/hpf. Urine total protein/creatinine ratio is 3.37. I want a second opinion. Is this curable?

His blood pressure suddenly rises to 250/140, and after hospitalization, his creatinine level is 4.97. Can this condition be treated or cured?
