MY BROTHER AGED 55 YEARS IS ON BED FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS , FOR THE PROBLEMS OF BED SORE . THE BED SORES ARE IN BOTH LEGS ABOVE THIGH AND AT BACK ,NEAR TO SPINE. THE PROBLEM OF BED SORES ARE AT THE VERGE OF RESOLVING. MY BROTHER HAS PAST HISTORY OF ACUTE KIDNEY INFECTION ( AKI) AND HAS CHRONIC CONSTRUCTION. FOR AKI , HE WAS ADMITTED IN JULY 2025 . THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED. AT PRESENT HE HAS BEEN ON BED FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS. THE MAJOR PROBLEM AT PRESENT IS OF SEVERE STIFFNESS IN BOTH KNEES. HE CANNOT EVEN STRETCH HIS LEGS. DUE TO THIS REASON , HE IS ON BED . FOR PASSING URINE A FOLEYS CATHETER HAS BEEN INSERTED FROM TIME TO TIME DURING THESE MONTHS. COMPLETE URINE ANALYSIS HAS BEEN DONE FROM TIME TO TIME. AT PRESENT REPORT OF URINE ANALYSIS SHOWING INCREASED PUS CELLS , IT MEANS THAT HE HAS UTI. IN ADDITION TO THIS HIS HEMOGLOBIN IS BELOW 10 GM FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS.
