Question: My creatinnine is 5.05. Not on dialysis. I urinate frequently. But, have low haemoglobin, low iron levels and love Rbc. My apetitie is low. Find it difficult to sleep in horizontal position. Have breathing problems at times. I believe the supplement CHITOSAN can correct my situation.

Want your opinion.

Brief Answer:
Chitosan is not the effective treatment for your problem.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir, Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
After having gone through your problem and the results of the various lab tests, the findings are suggestive of chronic kidney disease (kidney failure) with suspected heart failure.
Chitosan is claimed to be useful to treat complications that kidney failure including high cholesterol, anemia, loss of appetite and weakness. However, clinically it is not proved to be effective in the treatment of chronic kidney disease.
Had you been my patient I would have advised you to consult a nephrologist for further evaluation and treatment which includes dialysis, injection erythropoeitin to correct anemia (low Hb, decreased RBCs & Iron levels) and various dietary restrictions.
Hope the suggestions given above would be useful to you.
Best regards.
