My wife is in the hospital .She has a kidney infection .The doctor said if they dont start function better they would put her on dilas tempory. That may get them working better after they flush them. She had a blatter infection and was bound up and could not got to bath room .It hit her all at once and we took her to the hospital.
Good day! Is your wife diabetic ? Infection in the kidneys may cause it to temporary shutdown and if the creatinine is rising with subsequent increase in her potassium level, she may need temporary dialysis so remove the toxins in her body. Usually the kidneys will recover in a few weeks and renal function will be examined again if she can be weaned off dialysis. I would suggest and imaging modality like a ct scan or an ultrasound to check if there is an anatomical abnormality that brought her TNE bladder and kidney infection. Things to watch for in the ct scan is HY Chat Doctor.  I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at
