View allI'm really worried about my father. He's 67 and has been dealing with diabetes for 25 years, which has now affected his kidneys. Back in October 2016, his creatinine level was at 2.92, and we were told he's got CKD. By December 2016, it climbed to 3.0, and in January 2017, it shot up to 4.77. He stopped eating and became really inactive, and we had to rush him to the hospital. Then on January 25th, his creatinine was 6.7, and just two days later, it jumped to 7.7, even with all the medications he's on. His diabetes levels range between 130-200 for fasting and post-lunch, and they say it's under control. His blood pressure averages between 137 to 140 daily. Both ECG and 2Decho came out fine, but his hemoglobin is low at 8, and his potassium is at 4.2. Given these numbers, especially with his creatinine levels rising so quickly, I'm really anxious. What should we do next? Are there any specific treatments or precautions we need to consider to help manage his condition better?
Ideally he must be taken up for Dialysis to bring creatinine atleast less than 5 with good urine output and normal electrolytes,dont worry follow your doctors advice
