Worried

Last year a relative had to have a Aortic Aneurysm surgery, whilst being operated on they were on dialysis. Surgery went well - all good. In the following few months they ended up in hospital and one of the things they picked up on during tests was Kidney disease/failure. There has been no follow up to this and no investigation.

Cut to now and they have itchy skin, a strange rash and are extremely fatigued, little to no appetite and vomiting.Relative is reluctant to contact GP. Would I be right in thinking they possibly have kidney failure? And really need to get medical attention.

Speculation of what it might be is not important but someone with those symptoms and complex health needs needs to see their GP asap.

Thankyou and yes you're right speculating isn't the answer here, I will continue trying to encourage them to see a doctor.
