Kidney problem with calcium and phosphorus in blood
Patient: my father is suffering from Kidney damage.. he is having excess of Ca & Ph in blood .. can a dialysis be avoided using medication? He was having hemoglobin at 6 when admitted to hospital but after giving Espogen , Iron IVs, it has improved.. but the BUN and Calcium and Phosphorus is not being cleared... His legs are paining a lot and its difficult for him to walk.. Doctor: hello, welcome to HCM. You need to specifically tell the values of blood Ca and Phosphorus. If blood creatinine and BUN are high your father will definitely need dialysis. If the levels are marginally high they can be brought down to normal levels with help of medicines. But overall blood levels are the deciding factors. it would be advisable to undergo dialysis if the levels are high as they can be toxic for health if retained for long time in excess. Wish your father good health.
