| Hi,my mom has been receiving
hemodialysis for the past two years, well
tolerated. recently she has developed,
upset stomach, bulging, black stool and
H&H has dropped. Started on pepcid but
has developed palpatations while taking
it. NP at dialysis will start epogen shot
for anemai, but I am wondering if she
should be considered for a endoscope to
rule out GI bleed, she has never had GI
disorders in the past. but what concerns
me is the corelation with the H&H
dropping this past month, (which they did
consider a blood transfusion if need be)
and the bulging and gi upset, and most of
all black stook but never any blood
noted). What do you think,
Thanks |
i would forsure run this
past the doctor and see what they have to
say.good luck
