Can Biotin Supplement Be Taken While Suffering From Kidney Dysfunction?
Hello - My father currently has an aneurysm in his aorta (his fourth) and he has a leak in his iliac arteries. We are facing surgery, however, his kidneys are at a 20 percent function but not yet on dialysis. He has been taking a supplement that contains Biotin - will it further damage his kidneys? Thank you!
