Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

Your father has diabetes and chronic kidney disease. His creatinine level is very high and he should go for dialysis. Stem cell treatment can be given. It regenerate the kidney components and revert the chronic kidney disease. But it required detailed examination and investigations whether he is eligible for stem cell therapy or not. Cost is also depends on your kidney function and amount of kidney damage. So consult your nephrologist with all details.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
