Why There Is Increase In Weight For A 60year Old Woman Suffering With CKD?
Hello Doctor, My Mom aged 60 is a ckd patient undergoing treatment for past 2 years. Her Cr is 1.6 had increased to 1.9(a year ago) but has been stable(1.6) for past few months. She is taking Ketoalpha, earlier she was on NephroCaps. She has put on weight. Earlier her weight was 61 Kg, Now increased to 64 kgs. So iam a little concerned. She is otherwise doing very fine.
