Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon,i understand your anxiety.
Your sister has end stage kidney failure and can be treated with 2 options :
1. Dialysis or 2. Kidney transplant.
Dialysis is mainly of two types : Hemodialysis or Peritoneal dialysis.
A kidney transplant is the best option,with better quality of life,in long term.
If she has no major medical risk factors,she should go for it immediately.
If you've any doubts,send them to me,as a direct question.
