I am almost four months out from postrenal failure from urethra blockage. I am 9 weeks out from green light resection of the prostate and peeing much, much better.
When I was admitted due to severe restless leg and vomiting in the middle of September, my kidney numbers were: 10.4 creatinine, 10 eGFR, and 70 BUN. Now I am 3.1/20.4/56 and feel pretty good with just some residual dizziness.
I am in a very rural area with limited access to good nephros, and my daughter, who is an MSN, RN in a more populated area has been pushing REAL hard for me to consider dialysis. I am resisting equally hard, so far, becuase my trend is so good, and seems even to have accelerated now.
I am going to have to deal with my localized prostate cancer next, and soon, but I do NOT want to do anything with PCa treatments that will set back my kidneys.
I am looking without success for any information on typical recovery rates for people who've had potrenal failure of my severity level, and whether or not it is wise to continue waiting on stenting or temporary dialysis.
Thanks in advance for any input.
