Egfr 6
Urea 20.7
K 6.2

Feb 13

What would his kidney function % be on feb 13th??  I was told when it gets to 10% he will fall into a coma but how close is he to 10%

10% is just a vague concept that is based on the test results and diagnosis of clinical symptoms. Every patient condition is not the same. Your father’s condition is very serious now. His test result shows that the serum potassium and creatinine is a little high, which threat his life. The dialysis is necessary for his condition. You need more communication along with treatment. But you also should know dialysis just can sustain life and can not fundamentally improve kidney function. The best treatment should pay much attention on restoring kidney function damage. You can know Funeng Therapy that will promote blood perfusion, improve GFR and slow down the kidney pathological damage.

Hi,
How is your father? Estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 15 is already stage 5, which is very severely reduced kidney function. This is sometimes called end-stage kidney failure or established renal failure. There are many factors to consider and it is difficult to predict the next kidney function will be with just limited information. It  is best that you talk to his attending physician also for proper evaluation.
