We were not offered IV hydration. Didn’t realize that would make a significant change? Sorry, so new to this. For the past year we’ve been told let’s monitor her count until March 2024 and it dropped below 16 to 13 then 12 then 11 now at 9. It was very difficult getting an appt with a kidney specialist.

My GFR was 8 when I was told to go to ER. Being admitted to hospital seems to be the fastest way to get a nephrologist but i agree that getting appointments is hard.
Hope your mom can get some help. Could be the placing of a fistula they concerned about rather than the dialysis. I think it’s pretty serious surgery.
