My father is 67 years old. Was in apollo for 3 days and discharged 2 days back on 10th June Complaints were: Involuntary faecal inconsistence and too much fatigue. He was not able to get up also Critical values while discharge: Creatinine: 2.1 Potassium: 5.1 Sodium: 146mmol/L Urea: 75mg/dL Haemoglobin: 10.5 g/dl He was treated with Nephrophatic drugs, antacids, hyperkalaemia. Later shortness of breath & motions were controlled. But fatigue is still existing. He is not even able to get up by his own. He is talking as usual and cracking jokes also. But not able to get up from the bed without support from me even 2 days after hospital discharge. Kindly suggest how to take this forward.

You need to get him to the hospital. Online consultation will not help you in this case. His kidneys are not going in failure

His basic problem is that his kidneys are working at a sub-optimal level. He is not in a stage where dialysis is indicated but his serum creatinine, urea and potassium need to be managed. That is leading to extreme fatigue.
