my father in law was admitted in hospital for kidney trouble in 2008 with creatnine of 4.8.. after steroid etc it came down to 2.5 after which steroids have been stopped for a year.. inspite of which creatinine stayed upto 2.74 levels. suddenly in the last month ( had taken ayurvedic medicine thats y it moved from 2.80 to 2.74 for two months which he stopped coz someone had experienced a swelling on the lever in attempt of reducing creatinine) the reading is now 3.28. the doc has suggested a steroid which the doc feels might not work and we will evenutally have to go for dialysis. does ayurvedic medicine have a negative effect on other organs?? is that on stoping the ayurvedic medicines the creatinine shoots up??? was that the reason of a high reading ??? what should my father in law do??? he is 62 years old.
