Should my mom stay on prednisone or stop taking it and go on dialyis to wait for a kidney?
My mom is currently on prednisone and she doesnt know if the side effects, are worth it. Her bones arent as strong, she has heart flushes, and it makes her feel weak. If she does get off prednisone her kidney function will go down and she'll be on the waiting list for a kidney. Do you think she should stop taking prednisone and go on to the waiting list and do dialysis when her kidney function reaches 15 percent. its about 24 percent right now, you need to be below 20 percent to go on the waiting list.
