Liver cirrhosis patient since 2008 under medication and now the parameter of liver is ok. However, parameter of kidney is very abnormal. my BUN is 152mg/dl and creatinine is 6.28 mg/dl. My nephrologist is pressing for dialysis procedure. But I want to avoid the same. Kindly intimate if any medicine available to correct the parameter
HiT hanks for the query. BUN of 152 and creatinine of 6.2 indicate a severe degree of renal failure. At this point the consultant nephrologist is the best person to decide about dialysis and from the above labs it appears to be the preferred choice at this moment. You need to speak to your doctor, and he can review your other lab parameters. These can help us determine if the dialysis is going to be temporary or permanent. Also, he can look for any reversible cause which might be treated with medicines. Hope this helps Good luck.
