Is Kidney Transplantation Necessary For Person With Creatinine Level Of 8.3?

Age 64, Height 5'7"

Having diabetes since my 31 years old,

Creatine is now 8.3, the doctor asked me to do dialysis, I don’t have heart problem and pressure… Please advise me whether I can do transplantation? I am from srilanka, advise me how much it will take for the full course?

Thanks

Sam

Nephrologist,  's  Response
At any time renal Transplantation is superior to dialysis in all aspects. However first year post Transplantation is very important. You should be regular in medicine intake that will be prescribed. Diabetic patients will be evaluated little carefully for fitness prior to Transplantation. In India it costs 4-6lakh rupees if you have matched donor from family. I'm not sure of cost in srilanka. All the best. if you have any questions feel free to consult me.
