Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• Your mother-in-law is vomiting, which suggests that increased blood urea may be causing toxic symptoms in her body. So, dialysis should be done as early as possible. But, your treating doctor can guide you better.

• Some physicians prefer to wait and look for signs of improvement in kidney function with medications. It can be assessed by falling creatinine levels and blood urea levels.

• Great controversy exists regarding the timing of dialysis, which can be best assessed by your treating physician.

• Increased creatinine in this case is due to infection in kidney (acute pyelonephritis). So, once the infection is over the creatinine level will come back to normal. You should control her blood sugar. Follow a low potassium diet.
