CKD .. Creatinine 8.2

2023-02-28 03:03:18
My grandmother is suffering from Chronic kidney disease. She was diagnosed in 2012 and has been on medications since then. 3 months ago, her creatinine was 6.69 and her nephrologist said that her kidneys are functioning less than 10%. Also, she has dropped 5 kilos in weight in 2 months. Today, her creatinine is 8.2 Is dialysis the only option? She's aged 76, asthma patient, high BP and also underwent angioplasty in 2017 and has a single Stent in heart. Please advise.
