Patient: HiMy brother is diagnosed with CKD 5 and now undergoing dialysis thrice a week.His current creatinine level is 18 and has great difficulty with pulmonary edema and RLS.We have decided to do a kidney transplant ASAP.My mother is the donor.Will be he OK till then? Doctor: Hi and thank you so much for this query.I am so sorry to hear about what your brother is going through. This is the best treatment for CKD stage 5 with multiple dialysis sessions weekly. It would be the magic pill that can make him feel a lot better and even live without the need of dialysis. I hope it goes on as planned and great!I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish him the best of health and your mom well.Dr. Ditah, MD.
