Hello, have a query about my Mother. She is Diabetic since 26 years. She recently got few tests done like ECG, Eco and some kidney examinations. Her Uea was 77 and Creatinine was 3.03. We consulted a Nephrologist and he prescribed some medicines for it and also recommended AV Fistula. After doing little bit if research over internet on Fistula, I was surprised because it's a procedure for dialysis. She is presently in Kashmir and I was planning to bring her to Delhi for proper check up. Please suggest what needs to be done. Will appreciate your opinion. Thanks.

She might have ckd and most of ckd will leads patient to dialysis stage. Fistula is early preparation for dialysis. But with creat of 3.0. We have to calculate her GFR. If it's above 25 ml/minutes we can probably hold fistula for sometime.
