My mother, age 60 and wt. 39 kg is having HB 6-9 range. She is non-diabatic. She is undergoing Hemodialysis since 9 months. Please advice if CAPD option now will be better for her. What is the latest in it. Please give contact details ?
Is there any latest development for CRF patients like in STEM- CELL method etc.

I'd like to help you but I don't know what CAPD and CRF means. I used to work in a dialysis clinic.
Is she on a list for another kidney? I hope you get the help that you need.

Dear Barbra,

CRF stands for Chronic Renal Failure and CAPD term is used for Peritonial Dialysis.
Can you now suggest ? Report It
