My mum has been having sharp stomach pains and a bout of sickness and diahorhea (sp???). She's a bit better now but her GP took some tests and everything came back clear apart from kidney function which was only 54%. Gp has said she should have the test again in 2 weeks to see if it's just an after effect of the tummy bug. I'm am so worried about her - she's 76 next month and so far has been hale and hearty although getting a little frailer inevitable. The GP mentioned dialysis and I just can't see her coping with that regularly - it would be an 80 mile round trip.
Mum really didn't want to talk about it and my dad would avoid the subject like te plague. Anyone know anything about this - how likely is it to be nothing at all? I know it's a difficult question but I am so worried.
