Question: What can i expect to see with kidney failure!?
My dad's kidneys are failing probably due to uncontrolled diabetes!. He'll see a nephrologist soon!. Is this his final sturggle!? How long will it take!? Is it painful!? Can we help him!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
the docs will do whatever is best for him!. if he has kidney failure he can go on dialysis!. this is where a machine will do the work of the kidneys for him!. it usually takes place three times a week for roughly 3 to 4 hours, depending on the individual!. if the patient is poorly, they are sometimes asked f they want to go on a transplant list, but this is a very specialist area and won't suit everyone!.
lots of people live like this!. the best thing you and your family can do is support and help with any decisions he has to make!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your dad will be able to have dialysis - basically a machine acts like his kidneys and filters his blood - probably every couple days!. He will also probably be able to be put on the transplant list!.

You can look up info about dialysis, chronic kidney disease, and kidney transplants!.

Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
