What Causes Deterioration Of Renal Function?
My father-in-law just told us his doctor told him that he has 5-6 months to live because his kidneys are deterorating. He didn't tell us much about it other than that. Why can't he just get new kidneys? Why do the kidneys fade away like that? We feel so helpless now. Please help!

He should go for blood urea and serum creatinine level as well as ultrasound kidney to search exact cause as well as amount of damage already done. Then he should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
