Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an
Urologist, i can understand your concern. At your mothers' age and with her CKD(
chronic kidney disease),D.M.,and thrice weekly maintainence
dialysis, it's difficult for both,patient and family,to go through the treatment.
Irritability sets in along with feelings of
depression easily. It's very difficult for you to control her diabetic diet, advised by the
nephrologist.
Weakness is usually due to anemia(low Hb), in CKD.
Just try your best and give her moral support, through this difficult phase, is all one can suggest.Potassium rich foods must also be avoided,like fresh fruits, ripe bananas,and coconut water. If you want to clear any other doubt, you may send it to me,as a direct question.
Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
