Hello,
Dialysis cost around 4000 to 10000 rupees based on institutions.
She can go for kidney transplantation as a last resort but chances for complications including rejection is there and it is more common in old age. You can find a donor and consider for transplantation. You can consult your nephrologist and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
