Suggest Treatment For Kidney Failure
My father had cirrosis of the liver and HEP C. He went to an onocologist for the 1st time on a friday. The doctor took all kinds of blood work and sent my father home with morphine pills. The next day, that night my Father went to the emergency room for kidney failure. Should of the doctor or lab called on friday when they tested his blood and told us about the kidney failure?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It might be an acute failure, otherwise the first doctor would have detected it because he had done all the tests on the previous day. Liver failure patient can go to renal failure or multi organ failure at any time. No negligence or error happened from the first doctor.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks.
