My mum has chronic kidney disease for the past 14 years. Her health has been well, her blood urea and creatinine have been under control. However, her haemoglobin level was low and ferritin test showed that she had iron deficiency. So, she was asked to take the iron sucrose medication. While she was taking the iron sucrose medication, she started to feel tightness in her muscle, she started getting back pain and stomach ache. She also felt and weak and her blood pressure was very low. The doctor immediately stopped the iron sucrose medication.After a few hours, my mum got better, her blood pressure was normal and her muscle tightness improved. I just want to know whether her health will be damaged due to the side effects? Especially her kidneys, will it get damaged due to the side effects?
