Hi Fever is a very common problem in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. It usually indicates a underlying infection. Depending upon the cause, treatment involves anti-pyretic medications with a short course of antibiotics. Please visit your Nephrologist for further evaluation and management. In case of further queries, please feel free to write back to me. Regards Dr Prashik Meshram
