Dear please don't worry. My father was diagnosed with ckd in 2011, when his eerum cr was 1.5. He has a whole lot of medical ailments. He had to be injected with contrast dye in numerous occasions. Series of open heart Surgeries, carotid stenting all have been done. Now his serum cr is 2.3. One kidney has considerably shrunk. However the dialysis will not start till his cr reaches to 4. Don't panic. I know what pain you are going through. I have gone through the same phase. Even I have lot of anxiety BP issues, have to take care single handedly, along with a small child, and also an ailing mom. So I can understand. But try not to panic. My father is 75 years old. Cancer survivor, cerebral hemorrhage survivor, his heart is now 100 percent blocked too. And we can't go for any more surgeries either. Do keep praying, make her eat a lot of vegetables and fish thrice a week. No red meat, no extra salt, make sure she is taking all her medications on time.

Above all stay up and be positive. Life is amazing.

and sorry to heard about ur dad i hope he takes much time to live further god bless him ... is he on dialysis right now

No fear, my father is not on dialysis yet. And don't you panic. At 2.5 cr your mom is not going to go for dialysis anytime soon. With proper diet and the BP control her cr will definitely improve. Stay positive. She is not going to go for dialysis anytime soon.
