My partner has been taken of his diaretics (Spironolactone and Furosemide )he's been of them now since the 28th of April because his kidney function test showed his eGFR at 40,Creatinine 146,Urea13.7 and Sodium was 133, this result is from 28th April he hashad 2 more blood tests since then but not had any results back from them yet they are very slow getting back to me notfor the want of pestering them consequently his ascites has come back and his weight has gone up from 10st 3lbs to 11st 12lbs so I'm really worried what will happen ifhe can't go back on his diaretics he is finding it hard to breathe and hard to walk his walking has been difficult fo a while now he has mmuscle wastage but with the fluid in his legs and stomach it's even harder any aadviceas to what can be done wwould be greatly appreciated

Who took him off them GP or Consultant? If GP bypass them and if Consultant ring his secretary, if no joy I would suggest A&E ASAP before this gets any worse. He shouldn't have to suffer this it's very painful and distressing he needs treatment straight away. Hope you get some sense!
