my grandfather is 80 years old and he was diagnosed of having a chronic renal failure stage 5.. Is it possible for him to survive if he undergo a kidney transplant? I am willing to donate my kidney for him.. another option is dialysis but i think that would be painful to him. He told me that the dextrose inserted to him NaCl was painful so I thought how much more if he will undergo dialysis 2x a week that ll be very painful. I want kidney transplant for him. pls help me.. thanks
Dear Sarah, thanks for query. Your sentiments are fine and understandable, but you also need to know whether he will sustain this kind of major surgery. He is quite aged and major surgery at his age carries more risk, apart from he must be having other medical conditions like hypertension and diabetes which has lead to this kidney failure. Dialysis is of course a not a cure for this, but this will help him to stay alive. Please discuss this with your doctor also. Bye and take care.
