Is there a relationship between asterxis and kidney failure? I HAVE A GFR OF 18.

Yes it has been reported ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

Never heard of that, but after reading the article, I would say there can be many causes. Talk with your doctor!

Thank you. My biggest

Concern is falling when my legs give out.out.Hands and arms also shake at times. This

Complication affects the brain because the blood brings

waste that the kidney no longer filters. Other symptoms are confusion and not knowing where you are. Problem is a result of kidney failure.

I'm so sorry; what do the doctors suggest? Hospitalization? Emergency dialysis?
