What Causes Tiredness, Appetite Loss And Confusion While Suffering From Congestive Heart Failure?

My 93 yr old mother suffers from congestive heart failure and for the last 3 weeks has been very tired,no appatite and sometimes confused. Her cartiologist prescribed a laxics supplement to no avail and today her creatine level tested at 2,3 and BUn 80. We were refered back to her primary care physician. It would seem to me that she needs to se a kidney specialist. ASAP.

Hello,

It's seems the same to me that you need a kidney specialist as the kidney function tests are too high. A kidney dysfunction can cause all the symptoms you mentioned .
