Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist and transplant surgeon,i can understand your anxiety.
You've not written if one or two kidneys are affected.I assume it's both.
According to the reports,your nephew has kidney failure with anemia.
Anemia is part of kidney failure and it'll need treatment with erythropoeitin.
Blood transfusion with packed cells will also be needed.
The kidney failure will need a maintainence dialysis or a kidney transplant.
If you've any doubts,you may send all reports, as a direct question to me.
