Urologist,  's  Response
Hi,

As an Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon, I understand your anxiety. Once on maintenance dialysis, diet is to be followed strictly, consisting of:

1. 5g salt, 40g protein and 2000 calories/day

2. fluid intake should be maximum of urine output plus 400ml

As the scans show no problem, it should be only gas causing heaviness. That's a common situation, for which the medication is advised correctly. Wish him a speedy recovery and a successful kidney transplant.

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

Regards,
Dr. Matthew J. Mangat
