Dr. Y : Thanks for your question. If I don't respond to you immediately, it is because I am either in the OR or traveling. I WILL get back to you ASAP.
Dr. Y : The need for any treatment depends on the underlying cause of her decreased kidney function. Does she have any medical problems?

This is just a precaution for the future as she will need maximum kidney function later in life due to her already depressed kidney function. This is not serious but she may need treatment for whatever caused the problem to begin with. She should see a nephrologist for this evaluation. Hope this helps.
