cirrhosis and high kidney levels!

[Cfmol]

hi my husband has cirrhosis and he got his routine bloods last week and repeated I. Monday both sets of bloods had kidney function readings of 199!

The hospital phone late yesterday evening looking him to come first thing this morning to repeat blood and get fluids

Has anyone else had these problem and he hasn’t been recalled through the liver department

I’m sorry to hear that Cfmol. Hopefully others will post who may have had the same experience and can give you some insight. I hope they’re taking good care of your husband and that he isn’t in hospital too long.

Hi Cfmol, I have cirrhosis and prone to accrute kidney injury (AKI), most times I can manage the AKI by drinking plenty of water and low salt diet, but I take spirolactone (diuretic) that puts pressure on my kidneys so sometimes have to reduce the dose until my kidneys are better again. Does he take a diuretic as this could negatively impact his kidneys, it’s a fine balancing act.
