Recently, a patient who has diabetic nephropathy came into our hospital. 5 years ago, he found himself drunk a lot and had more urination, and 3 years ago, he had serious swelling in lower limbs. In that condition, his doctor asked him to take some medicines which can help relieve his symptoms. However, the swelling became more serious 1 years ago, so his doctor recommended him to have below-knee amputation. With strong disagreement, he was cut the right toe. In that time, he was diagnosed with end stage diabetic nephropathy.
Six months ago, he went to Dubai to have treatments, and because of high creatinine level and high blood pressure, he started dialysis for one month, which is 3 times a week. After a month dialysis in Dubai, he went back to his country and had dialysis twice a week. But after dialysis, he always has the symptoms of fever, cold feeling, low feeling and sickness in body.
