What causes kidney infection and blockage in heart?
Patient: Gud evening doctor my father age is 51 years . He is having glucose 120.1mg, Urea nitrogen 42.2mg, Creatinine 3.5mg, Sodium 130.6 mg, Chloride 89.8mg, Calcium 8.3mg, and Uric acid 9.0mg. According to the doctors he cant go through angiography due to kidney infection as they r saying, because of which they are in doubts that he might be having blokeage also in heart . He is right now taking medicine prescribed by the doctors of Jaslok hospital, Mumbai. I m not satisfied with them so, could you please let me know the dieses with which he is suffering and wht further step should i take further... Doctor: Hi and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.Your father is suffering from CKD or chronic kidney disease or failure.He also has high uric acid levels. All these need urgent medical treatment.If they're wanting to do angiography,the kidney function has to be normal.But as the kidney function is lower than normal,it can't be done.A kidney biopsy will be planned to know,what's the reason for the failure.He'll need to undergo maintainence dialysis or a kidney transplantation.Any other doubts can be cleared,by sending a direct question,in my name.Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
