My mother is 71, diabetic, her creatinine is 1.4, microalbumin 22.79 and urea is 86 and GFR 28. Her Fasting sugar is 169 and PP 220. She has water retention and whole body edema problem and shortness of breath and extreme fatigue. What could  be cause and how to treat
Hi welcome to the Chat Doctor Here don't neglect this condition and consult physician or nephrologist nearby for examination...GFR here is only 26 that is very low (normal 120) and edema present suggestive of chronic kidney affection.... There might be acidosis that can lead trouble breathing For fluid retention diuretic might prescribe And if needed dialysis might have done only if nephrologist feels that So no need of become panic, I have here given opinion as per history but ultimately depending on your clinical situation further work up planned Take care Consult physician nearby for examination without delay
