Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon,i understand your anxiety.
Your dad has renal failure,diabetes,CAD,and H.T.(hypertension).
CAD is coronary artery disease,for which he's already had an angioplasty.
Dialysis is done for people with end stage kidney disease ( ESRD ).
The only two options available are: 1.dialysis or 2.kidney transplant.
You've not written your dad's age and medication.
He's has a high risk for a kidney transplant surgery.So,no option to dialysis.
If you've any other doubt,send all the reports to me,as a direct question.
