Conflict drugs?
My mother is in coma as of the moment encephalophathy because of her creatinine level 500+ my family doesnt want her to get dialysis because of her age and weak body . The first time that we brought my mother in the hospital her creatinine was in 200+range level but because of her sodium decreases they need to give her the medicine for sodium and also she has UTI. The doctor said that the medicine for sodium and UTI maybe the cause of increasing creatinine? Please someone can help us to understand? And is there any treatment for encephalophathy other than dialysis? And how many percent my mother can survive if she will take dialysis?

Encephalopathy if due to renal failure is absolute indication for dialysis. Please ask all your doubts with the treating doctor. Donot try to learn from google at this juncture as her clinical condition is critical. Follow doctor's advice. Despite all these if next of kin decide no dialysis, then family wishes will be respected.
