I am guessing that my husband's Enlarged Prostate might have brought his on. For the past year he has been on the cusp of Stage a/b. Because of the EP he has to watch his liquid intake. Catch 22. He is 89. Had high blood pressure under control with medications for a lot of decades. Now suddenly it has dropped 92/58 (Bradycardia). Yet they still have him on the BP med (asking again at his next appt!). His eating is terrible. Mostly doesn't want to eat. If I can get him to eat will only be a little bit. Only wants sweets (not diabetic) Now has been diagnosed with dementia - which I suspected for about 10 years. So many signs were there but he is so good at 'showtime'. He is now on medication for anger (Yeah, it is working!!!). CKD seems the least of his doctor's concerns. We just go day to day.
