Suggest Alternative For Dialysis
My mother is suffering from kidney failure her GFR is 22 and hemoglobin is 12. She is also a bp and diabetic patient. Currently doctors say dialysis is not needed and may need in later stage. Can we stop the probability of the dialysis by some medication, therapy or excersize..etc

when GFR will fall below 10- 15, dialysis will be required. only alternative will be kidney transplantation.but definitely you can retard the dialysis by doing following
a) control of BP and sugar
b)avoiding pain killers
c) taking low phosphate diet and protein intake restricted to 0.8 mg/kg/day
