Hi, renal failure is a serious condition and like any other serious condition like heart attack and cancer, one is bound to have fear of its coming back. This will last for sometime and your father may keep doing tests too out of this fear. After a while he himself will get convinced that it is not coming back. Till then be supportive--regards
