My dad is 72 and had a heart transplant 13 years ago, the anti rejection drugs have destroyed his kidneys, he now suffers with cronic kidney failure his kidneys are only working at 8%. he is due to start dialyse in a couple of weeks, he has and a fiscula set up. at the moment he has a urine infection and is in a lot of pain. he has had this for 3 weeks. is this the normal for people with kidney failure?
HelloThanks for the query It looks like you father is suffering from a urinary tract infection which is common in elderly men and not particularly in people with kidney failure. He needs to be treated with anti bionics like levofloxacin for a period of 7 days, or he can also be treated if the urine culture has grown an organism based on the anti biog ram picture. General condition tends to improve after one goes on dialysis as the uremic toxins are removed from the system during dialysis wish you dad good health and a speedy recoveryRegards
