Renal Doctor Meeting

Her Blood Urea Nitrogen has gone from 73 yesterday to 83 today -- the normal range is 8 - 20. According to the renal doctor this can cause you to be "out of it". They are confirming now but she will most likely start dialysis today. They have to put in a catheter into her groin area or her neck. This is a large catheter and it will take about an hour to put it in. They will do the procedure in her ICU room. The doctors are discussing it now and we should know more in a few hours.
