What Is The Prognosis Of COPD, Lung Problem And End Stage Of Kidney Failure?
Hello My aunt 89 Has copd Lung problem And end stage kidney failure She goes to dialysis 3 time a week Started bleeding passing blood severely In icu now They say going to do a test on her tomorrow threw the rectum What is the problem here What should I know and expect. Thanks. Rita Maniha
Hi, As your aunt has a significant lung and kidney problem coupled with her advanced age, this indicates she is very ill. It would be impossible to suggest what the cause of her bleeding is without further tests. However, the outlook is likely to be quite poor. I suggest you will need to be realistic in your expectations as she may not recover fully from her present illness. Regards, Dr K A Pottinger
