Unfortunately there is no better treatment than dialysis or transplant based on his kidney function levels. It is advised to consult a nephrologist for guidance in this issue.

Dear Lybrate user
sorry to know about the condition of your father.
He is suffering from END STAGE RENAL DISEASE. Sometimes kidney transplant may not solve the problem.
He needs to have dialysis for increasing creatinine and pottasium levels.
Vomitings are due to uremia.
Blood percentage decreases in such cases. Transfusion of blood may be required during dialysis sessions.
Contact a dialysis centre who can do dialysis at an affordable price.
Hope for the best.

Asked for male, 56 years old from Visakhapatnam

Hi, My father is suffering with chronic kidney disease stage-5. Currently he is running on dialysis. He is having bp and diabetes from last 16 yrs. Some doctors suggested kidney transplantation and some not to have. From last 5 months he is running on dialysis. We took decision of running dialysis itself. Is it correct or else we have done any mistake? With the dialysis can he survive well? Thanks for responding in advance.

Transplanted kidneys can work for 10 to 15 years or even more if good care is taken. A repeat transplant with interim dialysis is possible before going for a retransplant. There are many factors on which the life of kidney depends and your nephrology team will be the best source for this information.

You must follow the advice given to you from time to time. Don't get confused by multiple suggestions from this or that pathy. Ckd needs continuous monitoring of kidney function by doing creatinine estimation and if levels cross the acceptable limits, dialysis must be done. Kidney transplants are quite successful and a timely selection of homologous donor is preferable. If somebody offers a cure please don't get carried away, mostly such people are quacks and frauds. Beware of them.

There are two types of kidney failure - one is acute, another is chronic. In acute kidney failure, the chances of recovery are very good. In chronic kidney disease, the kidney's structure gets permanently damaged. So far, there is no medicine which can regrow a permanently damaged kidney. The current medicines only reduce further damage. Your father probably has got chronic kidney disease. Kidney transplantation is the best solution for chronic kidney disease stage 5, provided the patient is fit...more

Asked for female, 35 years old from Rewari

My aunt is suffering from kidney failure. She is undergoing dialysis thrice a week. Recently we found that she is also suffering from Hepatitis C. Is it possible and safe to get kidney transplantation done before getting diagnose of hepatitis C?

Dr. Souvik Paul90%(1540 ratings)

Few of the good medicines are contraindicated in renal failure. Interferon therapy can be used safely. Also new oral drugs for hep c are quite good though costly.
Treatment of hep c and remission is a must before transplant. Else complications of hep c like chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis will occur fast because of immunosuppressive drug therapy needed for kidney transplant.
