My mother aged 74 years , due to wheezing problem , she was advised to go for dialysis. Her creatinine was 3.4.After dialysis (4 times) , her creatinine came to 2.00. Now she is taking diet as advised by Neprologist. She is taking dialysis twice in a week . If we increase frequency of dialysis ie  once in ,10days , does it affect her health.She is taking very less quantity of diet. Her weight is considerably declined from 55 to 48 kg within 15 times of dialysis. Please advise.She is taking medicines for  thyroid, and kidney as advised by doctor. Please advise..
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this chronic kidney disease that your mother has and the need of frequent dialysis. Increasing the interval of her dialysis sessions would just make things worse by causing a sharp rise in the creatinine levels again. The best way forward is to strongly consider her for renal transplant as this is the single and most effective treatment of this condition. Dialysis does help in the short run but very unlikely to be an excellent method for long term purposes. I think her diet is too restrictive, and the doctors should consider increasing her daily calories. I hope this helps. Furthermore, I wish her well.
