hi, My father  had kidney failure back in december. He is Type 2 Diabetic as well. He had Urea level around 232 and Serum Creatinine 6.3 when we consulted doctor and got urea down to 100 and serum creatine to 4.4. He is looking to know if there is any alternative to dialysis? Some people mentioned that there is an instrument which costs about 18000 Rupees a month and gets attached to shoulder which  is used to do dialysis that does not require operation for fistula, Can you please guide if that is true?Thanks,
Hello, I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. According to levels you have mentioned I don't think your father needs dialysis at this point, but for future use AV Fistula is the best option. I think your known people told you about perm catheterization which you can afford, but there are high chances of infection for that, and it is not the permanent solution for dialysis. Either you go for fistula or renal transplantation according to me these are the best options I can tell you. Hope this answers your query. Chat Doctor.
