Dear sir,

My father is suffering from chronic kidney disease. His age is 57 years. 7 months ago his sugar was dropped to 30.

Now his USG report is RK-8.7cm and LK-8.1cm and last Creatinine result is 6.6.

He just took 11 Haemo Dialysis till now. He is taking 2 Dialysis per week.

Is there any option to reduce Dialysis or stop Dialysis or any other option? 

I am waiting for your response.

    Hi,

    Why would you want to stop his dialysis?, does he have a doner ready for transplant? A transplant is the only other option, if he stops dialysis then he will no longer have life, the dialysis is keeping him alive.

      Hi,

      I don't no where you have heard this?  I will be blunt if he doesn't have dialysis he will die.  The dialysis is keeping him alive.  2 ddays a week is not much, most people on heamo do at least 3 days maybe more and I did PD and did it 7 days a week constantly for 2 years.  Not enough dialysis is bad for the patient.
