Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] my sister had a renal stent placed today. one side is 100% blocked . the other where the stent was placed is 90% blocked. will she ever need the already shrunken 100% kidney removed? How long is the average recoup time? she is a nurse and thinks she is going to work her 12hr shift on Saturday. I say no.
[|AI|]  Good Day! Congratulations on the successful renal stent placement. What was the reason for the blockage of both kidneys? Theoretically the kidneys needs 6 weeks to fully recover from any form of obstruction, only then can we say that the kidney function has already stabilized after relief from obstruction. Since renal stent placement are done endoscopically and is a minimally invasive procedure there is no actual physical restriction that is recommended. If you feel that your sister is still weak and fells dizziness from the elevated creatinine then she still needs to rest to let the now non-obstructed kidneys clear the toxins first in the body. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.
