My grandmother is suffering from recurrent kidney infections , she is 90 years old and has been tried on all antibiotics , her doctor has said she has only one more to try. Her kidney function has declined and we are wondering what treatment would be available if any or what next. Her physical health Is deteriating and her liver function and bloods for cardiac output have dropped significantly too. Thanks
Hi, Thanks for writing in.First the kidney infection needs to be dealt with aggressively. There could be infection due to resistant organisms. She may require hospital stay with treatment including intravenous antibiotics. Then comes the part where the cardiac condition needs to be controlled. This can be done with the expert opinion of a cardiologist. At the same time medicines given to her must have lease liver or kidney toxicity. The general health and nutrition also need further attention to keep her health from deteriorating further. Hope this helps.
