My father is suffering from heart and kidney problem. Haemoglobin has gone down to 6.5 and createnine at 4.2 along with high Uric acid and urea. All doctors were of the opinion that my father needs to go for dialysis but nephrologist adviced to give epofit 3000 and no dialysis. Do you think that a good decision? Please advice
HiT hanks for choosing Chat Doctor. In.profit is nothing but erythropoietin which is released by kidney and in kidney patients as it is released in low quantity and that's the reason why hemoglobin will be low in such patients. So giving that injection will improve he and the symptoms caused by anemia but if you have no uremic symptoms then you can hold hemodialysis and have symptomatic treatment. Thank you.
