How To Prevent From A Kidney Failure?
My father s pancreas has shut down, and he was told that especially with his diabetes, that his kidneys are soon to follow. I was looking online the other day and found some sort of implant that can be put in now, that has helped 50% of those who tried it, from developing full kidney failure, but now I can not find the name of the implant so that we can talk to his doctor about it. Can anyone tell me the name of this? It was like 3 or 4 letters long...

Hi,
The implant you are thinking of may be ureteric stent which is used to bypass the blocked portion of kidneys and helps to an extent. You can consult a urologist and get evaluated. Wishing all the best.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussai
