Nephrologist 's  Response
Dear User,

I think periactin is not going to help much in patients with the clinical conditions of your beloved. Thus, I would not recommend it. Cut the liquids as suggested since excess of liquid rises mortality and reduce the responsiveness to antibiotics in soft tissues. Take care,
