My boyfriend has been diagnosed with stage 5 renal failure. He just had his first 3 dialysis appointments and after the last one on Friday hes been running a low grade fever around 99.2 at night. Hes also developed a cough though its not chronic or constant. Is this something that is normal with dialysis?
If he is undergoing dialysis through catheter in neck it could be the source of infection. If this is the situation, it may need removal of catheter if he is not responding to antibiotics for 48 hrs. As he is young, go for transplant as early as possible. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
