[|Human|] My husband has Stage 5. He also has a poor heart, with less than 20% EF. He is on BP meds to lower his BP. However, with his low BP (average 83/54) his dialysis center is afraid to remove the fluid that is necessary. So he is gaining weight. We went to his PCP who has ordered a paracentesis for him for this week. He is very swollen and having uremic spots on his body, along with severe nausea. He has both Zofran and Reglan. We are new to dialysis. Started on June 13, so I don t know how much to advocate for him or just trust the dialysis center. I will be calling the M.D. tomorrow. He also is having a hoarse voice now, which I am reading can be due to the ESRD.
