How Can Fever After Having Suffered Renal Failure Be Treated?
hi, my mother is a renal failure patient & is on dialysis 3 times a week for 15 years now.
Last night, she had a bump in her clavical & the x- ray showed an inflammable area. by the end of the day, her blood pressure reached 80/40 & she got a fever (38.5 C) and she couldn't take her breath plus she couldn't recognize her family. right now she is in the ICU being monitored for B.P & fever only after her dialysis session... i don't know what is her diagnosis because her doctor is travelling.
thank you for your help
