92 yr old dad with chf and third stage kidney failure is doing great after a bout with illness but refuses to see any doctors now/mentally alert /?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Control salt & water: The best avenue for him with CHF and CKD stage iii is to control sodium below 3000 mg a day and fluids less than 1500 ml per day (1.5 quarts) which is 8 of the 6 ounce cups a day. Needs to take his water pills as prescribed. Given age of 92 and lack of interest to see a doc, you may discuss possibility of hospice esp if he has no interest in being admitted to hospital if gets worse.
