my sister has renal kidney failure and has been on dialysis for a year.  She is seeing the nep. specialist but they have no answers to her health problem, She is not a diabetic and has been tested and does not have kidney disease or cancer, my question is what other options could we check out?
HelloThanks for choosing Chat Doctor. First you need to know whether it is an acute kidney injury or chronic kidney injury. Please have an ultrasound pub done and see the size of the kidney. If size is normal then mostly it is acute kidney injury, and you need to know exact cause why it happened mostly it is caused by acute gastroenteritis, post pregnancy, contrast tests induced and may be due to stones which are obstructed and raised the creatinine. If it is CKD then the kidney size will be small and dialysis and renal transplantation is the only line of treatment. Thanks Chat Doctor.
