General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

* In my clinic, I recommend intra articular or joint space infiltration of steroid for moribund conditions, but not recommend for systemic insertion via vein or tablet form as the patient is on dialysis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
