Suggest Treatment For Acute Renal Failure

My mom is suffering from acute renal failure. Her BP was very low and so the docs gave her fluids to raise it. Only problem is I believe they are overloading mom s body with fluids. This i believe cause renal failure as easy as not enough fluid. Intake and expelling fluids should be roughly even but they aren t measuring it. They ve also stopped mom s diuretics which surely is putting a strain on her heart. I ve argued with the docs and nurses but what do I know. Her legs and arms are now swelling up and she is non responsive with a sleep like state or extreme fatigue. She doesn t recognise anyone and this as happened within 4 days hospital treatment.

Urologist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
In ARF(acute renal failure), fluid balance with electrolytes and monitoring kidney function,(urea and creatinine), is very important.
Diuretics should never be given in kidney failure, so it was stopped.
Her sodium and potassium levels will be checked daily.
You can send a copy of the reports here to me as a direct question, for an expert opinion.
