Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



I had gone through your question and understand your concern. As per the patient's history seems she has uremic symptoms. That is her blood urea level is increased and affecting the brain function. When such patient comes to me I advice hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is much effective in control blood urea and Creatinine.





Hope I have answered your query.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
