I hate to tell you that homeopathic treatments do not work for kidney disease. She needs to follow the doctors advice, or she needs to help prepare you, her family, to learn how to carry on with out her Your mother needs to decide what to do. And once she makes that decision she will need her entire family to support her with whatever she decides.

Because you posted her labs, it seems that the homeopathic route has not worked. She needs to start dialysis asap! She will feel so much better. It's time your whole family gets behind her and support this change. Dialysis does not need to be something negative. For me, it helped so much. You need to listen to her doctor, who is the medical expert. On this site, we are not medical experts, but can only speak from our own experience. It was my experience that dialysis was a life-saver until I received my transplant.

Help your Mom and help her start dialysis treatments!

I agree with what the others have said. Your mother is so fortunate to have family left to support her as she makes this transition to dialysis.

However, it may be frightening for her family to face the reality of dialysis. I can definitely understand this. My father had chronic kidney disease ultimately needing dialysis. My mother and I served as his in home hemodialysis care partners. (And that was 38 years ago. There have been many advances in dialysis during the interim 38 years.)

Unfortunately neither my brother nor my sister were able to get past THEIR discomfort with my father's treatment, i.e., in home hemodialysis. It would have helped my father and my brother and my sister had they been able to deal with the in home dialysis. But since neither my brother nor my sister were able to get past their fears of dialysis, they were not able to be there for my father during the final years of his life.

So, please go with your mother to her nephrologist's appointments. Go with her to her dialysis sessions. Learn everything you can about this treatment option. She will find comfort in your support. You and your family will be glad that you did this for her. And, I suspicion as you and your family learn more about dialysis you will discover it is neither horrible nor scary; rather, it is truly a life-saving treatment for people with chronic kidney disease.

And please note, today, people live, often very well, while receiving dialysis for much longer than they did when my father received dialysis treatments. So, your mother may well live for many, many years specifically because dialysis is so readily available as a treatment option today.

I wish your mother, you, and your family well. Please let us know how it goes with your mother.

Please consider dialysis treatment as her numbers are critical. Her EGFR is at the stage five for which qualifies her to start dialysis.The treatments will include Procrit, which will raise her hemoglobin levels and help her to feel better. I hope you have access to all the available treatments to improve her quality of life. Press forward !.

I am writing from NJ/USA. I understand the issues but the only thing I could suggest is to follow your physicians orders! The sooner dialysis begins the more healthy your Mom will become! All of us must be thankful that dialysis is an option. Just think of others who have no viable options! Encourage your family to support Mom! You are a good son for caring so much! 🙏

i have read the other responses my dear, my mother too is doing dialysis. At first nothing at all was easy for us all but we had to be there for her,she is a strong mom naturally but this was a shock to her and us it hit us all i can say. We are taking each day as it goes supporting her with the foods she must eat sometimes she comes back very tired when she is from there.....we respect her condition because we know what she is going through and the following day she becomes fine. she was doing it 3 times a week but now its 2 times a week. please support her with all you can.
