hi posting hoping to get some advice my mum has NAFLD along with other Heath issues including lymphoedema and type 2 diabetes, she is 79 and is not eligible for a liver transplant
She’s been on diuretics for fluid around her stomach and also some swelling in her feet
Her medication has been changed a number of time in the last couple of weeks which has contributed to her having low sodium levels
she’s been admitted hospital twice in the last 3 weeks for fluids, the first time was an overnight stay in a ward unfortunately the secon was 4 nights in a chair in A&E which you can imagine was a really difficult experience
The staff have been exemplary in both cases but she became very confused and disoriented in A&E and had a really difficult night where she was wandering around
she’s now being monitored on a virtual ward where her bloods are checked every couple of days
Her sodium levels are now dropping again but she is adamant she won’t go back to hospital after the last experience
Has anyone had any medication, supplements or any dietary advice that can help maintain sodium levels
I’ve read that a high protein diet and also some energy/electrolyte drinks can help
any advice would be greatly appreciated
