Hi my uncle is in the hospital and they say that there is nothing more that they can do for him they are claiming that his kidneys are completely shut down and they are just going to let him die. But he is still producing urine. Can you still pee if your kidneys are shut completely down?
Hello, Even if the kidneys are shut down some people still can produce urine as it's just going through the procedure of filtration of blood and excreting. But it's not qualitative work the kidneys are doing. If his creatinine and urea are going up inspire of producing good urine then his kidneys are failing in function. There are 2 options for these patients. Either he can undergo regular hemodialysis where the machine will filter the blood of waste products. It will be done twice or thrice a week. Or he can undergo renal transplant surgery if he is fit for surgery after the surgeons decide to. I hope I have helped you. Thank you
