Lagusta:


Now this is serious.....

I just read through the article and all comments, and I found that they have done the third dialysis now..... (Dialysis is not a test tho)

Your nephew has end-stage renal disease.... The yellow eyes could be from liver disease (likely malignancy that have also metastasized to the kidneys) or a complication of massive blood transfusion....

Renal transplant is the gold standard.....

The Nigerian government has not been fair on us when it comes to health care. We always take a meagre percentage of the budget every year (the government prefer to pay some ex militants than to build and equip better hospitals)

God go help us

Amen.
is there hope for him plz?

opeano:

Seun, pls assist in everyway you can. This boy reads a lot of books claiming he wants to b a lawyer,

Is there a way to urgently get this boy to India? What help do you need to achieve this? I believe a lot of people are here to help if you call on them.

Seun, please move this thing to front page. I am pleading with you.

opeano:

I simply do not understand so much of medical terms. This boy isnt getting better in anyway and source of funds for his treatment is leaving the family with debts by the day.
Dear Nairalanders, we need ur support in everyway.
Seun, pls assist in everyway you can. This boy reads a lot of books claiming he wants to b a lawyer, the first we will ever have in our family, if this sickness doesn't snatch him from us, the father is a retired state worker and the mum is a teacher with OYO state govt. am sure you all know how dire the help we need is.

This is touching to read. lalasticlala, Seun, dominique and others, please move this to front page. This family seems need all the help they can get.

Have you set up an account for him so people are willing to help can do so? There is a lady on this forum called Aminat that does verification to ascertain the true pictures of things. Get her involved and let's get the ball rolling.

Are they giving him antibiotics to combat the infection?

Seun:

I think so, laxis and rosephin are part of drugs he takes

We have just been asked to get two more pint of blood for him, so far, he has taken about 8pints and his blood level is still at 19. Doctors said they might need to send him to haematology department saying they dont know why blood is breaking down in his body. worse scenario is that he is O negative blood type and only his dad has it in the family. getting funds to Buy blood is another problem. attached is the latest blood prescription and the latest test we had

2more blood prescribed

Have they even told you guys the diagnosis yet? Ask for the diagnosis. What are they treating him for.
From the look of things, seems like he has End Stage Renal Disease, which will explain the numerous transfusions as the Kidneys are making insufficient Erythropoietin. The dialysis could also explain the transfusions too. If it is ESRD, then only a kidney transplant will save him. I'm just speculating though. Find out what he is being managed for. The exact diagnosis.

The diagnosis is clearly written on the form AKI (Acute Kidney Infection). Like you said the kidneys are unable to produce erythropoietin cos the ones transfused are immediately utilised by the body hence the Anaemia.

Mr OP pls tag all the moderators so something urgent needs to be done as soon as possible.

There's no need to buy blood it's a criminal act. What you do is go to the blood bank and ask them to loan you the pints of blood needed just that it must be replaced. O negative is a very scarce blood type so only the blood bank or NBTS can help out.

Acute Kidney Injury, not infection. Also known as Acute renal failure. AKI secondary to what? AKI isn't enough as a diagnosis.

the blood bank said O negative isn't available and the option is to go get it from outside.

he has been stopped from taking anything protein .
we cant even afford 25k to get two pint by tomorrow morning

they said he myt b transferred to Haematology section as they can't fathom the acute shortage of blood in spite of the transfusion done so far
