Question

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?

Question

I've noticed my creatinine level went up to 1.46 again, and my protein creatinine ratio is at 0.95. I'm taking Cap Neoral 100100, Azoran 75mg, Wysolone 5mg, Telma 40mg, Prolomet XL 25mg daily, and Inderal 20mg twice. Last month, I had a similar issue with my S.creatinine and creatinine protein ratio, and my doctor increased my dose of Wysolone to 30mg, which brought my creatinine down to 1.2. But now it's back up to 1.46 again. The doctor is suggesting I should go for a biopsy, and I'm kind of stressed about it. Do you think I should proceed with it? I'd really appreciate your advice.
