Body pain, short of breath...
Hi Sir, one of my relatives had some body pain and found difficulty in breathing. When taken to the hospital, after a general blood test his creatinine was found to be at 3.3, and it's been 5 days now and the creatinine is at 6.38. And, right from the day 1, the nephrologist adviced for heamodialysis, but our contention is that, is it necessary for a dialysis at this stage.. Pls advice...
