Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Dialysis is the only option available as alternate to kidney transplant.
His cardiac condition, if improves, can be assessed and taken up for transplant surgery.
Since at this stage, he is not fit for surgery, dialysis is the only option to continue with.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
