What Causes Bone Rattling Cold Feeling When Treating Kidney And Heart Failure?

my 91 year old mother in law has been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure and congestive heart failure, she just moved into a assisted living center 10 days ago, we ve provided the staff with all of her medical information but I am wondering if there is more that we can do to assist. Within the last 2 days she is complaining about being bone rattling cold, is this another symptom? We just met with the renal doctor 5 days ago and he wants to see her back in 2.5 weeks but I am concerned that she is worsening every day. She was put on a low dose water pill but it doesn t seem to be helping. Any suggestions?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome.

The rattling cold she is experiencing could be associated with the renal failure and possibly even the congestive heart failure. But I would although still recommend a check on her thyroid profile. If all is well there, then we can assume this to be related to her pre-existing conditions.

But in all honesty, I do not honestly think she is getting any better and sadly there will be the appearance of more and more symptoms with time.

I am truly sorry about this.

Best wishes.
