Mom CKD stage 5 refuses dialysis experience psychosis
My mom is 78 and her last eGFR was 14 taken June 1st. She is also bipolar I and a long-term lithium patient. She is recently off lithium and on new meds but it appears that she is in cognitive decline and is experiencing psychosis (agitated and confused). She's only had dialysis four times in the last 2 years. She hates it and said she didn't want it ever again. I really don't know if doing dialysis at this point is going to help her regain her cognitive function. Does anybody have experience with this situation and can share?
