A member asked:
My dad has kidney failure, but also has really high pth and a high iga. would this be enough to get a prescription for plasma exchange/which dr?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney failure: It is up to the doctor to decide what treatment is necessary when there is high PTH and high IGA. Please have a discussion with your dad's doctor and begin to understand what might or might not be necessary. My sense is that dad will have different treatment. Please let me know how it goes.
