chronic renal failure of my younger brother

Hi,
I am a doctor from Pakistan.
My younger brother, 18, suffered from chronic renal failure (CRF). I would like to share my story with you all.

Initially, my brother presented with a vague history of mild abdominal pain, nausea, & diarrhea for just 3 or 4 days. as he was residing in a hostel, i was unable to see him. After that he said he is feeling too weak and lethargic & pale as well. He went to a local hospital, where his hemoglobin level was checked & it was 7gm/dl. It was much alarming for me. I started him investigating properly & the reports were as under;
blood urea=252mg/dl
Creatinine=12
Potassium=5.8

We started his hemodialysis on daily basis, and started to search a kidney donor for him as he was having an end stage renal failure.

One of our cousin agreed for donating his kidney as his blood group was the same as that of my brother. We did all the relevant investigations of the donor. In the last cross match of both the patient & the donor was done & it was negative.

Finally, Renal Transplant was done,and now by the grace of ALL MIGHTY ALLAH, my brother is enjoying a healthy life.

In the end i would like to say that be concious about your health before its too late…
Have a nice & healthy life….
Dr R.M.
