Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Your concern is understandable. As a Urologist, I'm sure you are aware, he's on dialysis treatment for chronic kidney failure. Fever with chills, develops with infection. Confusion may be a symptom of salt imbalance.(electrolytes). You must convince him somehow, and take him to your nephrologist, at the earliest. If you've any other doubts, you may contact me by name. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
