Question 2

can you die from acute kidney failure ? (suggesting a drug overdose) what would be initialized signs of death is closing in? would there be physical pain?

Accepted Answer

: Without proper treatment, the answer is definitely yes:  acute renal failure can be fatal. But the context of your question suggests that you (or the person. you are writing about) implies ongoing care and probably hospitalized. Standard treatment usually is effective in keeping such patients alive indefinitely, sometimes with kidney dialysis. Discuss with the doctor(s). Good luck.

Question 3

if a person is allergic is it really a shame ?

Accepted Answer

No and no: There are many options to replace losartan and a detailed discussion with treating cardiologist should clarify options. If a drug is not tolerated is understandable and it is never the patient's fault/shame, relatively commonly seen in practice.

Question 4

i have kidney failure , heart disease and diabieses and i have a drug habit.i have lost the use of my legs i need help?

Accepted Answer

First things first: When facing big challenges you can really only focus on one thing at a time, trying to take one step forward. It sounds like the major problem that is in your hands to change is the drug habit. Seeking help and getting clean may open other doors to important health care options. For example, you would only be a kidney transplant candidate after being clean for at least 6-12 months. Best of luck.

Question 7

my father is in hospice care for heart failure and stage 5 kidney failure. if we stopped his anti rejection pill for liver transplant - the only medicine he takes- what would exactly would happen and in what time frame? its been 4 months on hospice?

Accepted Answer

: 
Stopping the anit-rejection medications can lead to acute rejection, chronic transplant damage and ultimately the failure of a transplant. The liver would fail. Liver failure has symptoms of yellowing of your skin and eyeballs, pain in your upper right abdomen, a swollen belly, nausea, vomiting, general sense of feeling unwell, confusion and sleepiness. It is uncertain how long that will take.

Good health: Kidney disease often results from hypertension, diabetes, hi cholesterol, but can be related to less common illnesses like lupus as well.

Young children and elderly people are more susceptible to develop this complication.  Antibiotic treatments so far failed to prevent the development of hus.
