Suggest Treatment For Chronic Kidney Disease

Consult urologist ASAP...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I am sorry for the situation your brother is in.
You are mentioning that he had some lab tests, including Ct-scan. Can you please provide the reports to me, so I can analyze them myself before running into final conclusions?
Having fluid retention in abdomen and legs is indicative for kidney problems (chronic kidney disease-should specify this diagnose). We must understand what is the dark spot noted on his kidney, so, we can find the right solution to treat it. Once it is treated, the fluid retention will be subsided too.
Next, as he is suffering of high blood pressure, we must determine whether blood pressure has caused kidney problems or it is chronic kidney disease that has caused blood pressure (secondary blood pressure). In this case, once kidney problems are resolved properly, blood pressure will be improved too.
A further consultation with nephrologist is highly recommended to start immediate treatment. If you cannot find a nephrologist, then, try to find an urologist. He/she will help him too.
Feeling fatigued, rapid muscle tone loss is due to accumulation of wast products as they are not cleared off the body from the kidneys properly.
At the end:
1. Should consult a specialist (urologist or nephrologist) as soon as possible to start specific treatment
2. Advise him to limit salt intake
3. Furosemide (diuretic) use should be started (i.m. for a few days until swelling is subsided, then, orally)
Hope it helped! Let me know if I can assist you further!

Hi back,
You have your right to get those records, so, try to get them and have it checked by the urologist or the new doctor. You can send to me also for a second opinion.
