Does Epofit Help To Treat Heart/kidney Problem While Having High Uric Acid/urea?
My father is suffering from heart and kidney problem. Haemoglobin has gone down to 6.5 and createnine at 4.2 along with high Uric acid and urea. All doctors were of the opinion that my father needs to go for dialysis but nephrologist adviced to give epofit 3000 and no dialysis. Do you think that a good decision? Please advice
Hi Thanks for choosing healthcare magic. Inj.epofit is nothing but erythropoietin which is released by kidney and in kidney patients as it is released in low quantity and thats the reason why hemoglobin will be low in such patients. So giving that injection will improve hb and the symptoms caused by anemia but if you have no uremic symptoms then you can hold hemodialysis and have symptomatic treatment. Thank you.
