kidney problem
Dear DoctorsMy mother aged 73 having a history of chronic UTI is on catheter for last 3 years. She is very weak and has a very poor appetite. Currently she has raised levels in KFT which are as follows
S.Creatnine: 1.9
Potassium : 6
Blood Urea: 55
Uric acid: 6
we are very worried about the elevated levels of Potassium as she previously also Hyper kalemia and had a lot of complications.
Kindly suggest the medicine. I shall be greatful to you

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
As the first & most basic step, I'd recommend her to start with yogurt having live cultures e.g. homemade yogurt or any good brand which has live cultures. The yogurt should be non-sweetened, non-flavored, just plain. Have her eat half a cup daily as part of regular diet and within days you should see substantial improvement in both her appetite & UTI symptoms.

thanks for replying, She is already taking it regularly for last 6 months. the current problem is due to the elevated potassium levels. Kindly advise for that as well

So basically she is a c*ncer survivor. Chemo & radiation wreak havoc on body and coming out of it is only possible if you put a lot of effort towards your diet, exercise, meditation etc. Her age is also going against her.

Dear Sir
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting in so much effort and time.
You are absolutely right sir, But need your guidance and support to bring her out of this health crisis.
Q- 7 Restlessness is internal discomfort which is is also not able to explain.
Sensitivity is she dislikes anything loud any long communication etc, specially in the evening till she sleeps.
She is on catheter for the last around 2.5 years. But few days back the catheter was to be changed so she remained with catheter for half a day in which she was having the feeling of urination and that was quite frequent every 20 minutes. but the volume every time was quite less 15-20 drops.
Some times she feels the burning sensation even with the catheter
Yes she has control over the stool but her motions are not regular. She normally has constipation for which she takes Isabgol.
