But the transplant is on standby due to: -His Hamoeglobin is down to 6.5 -His creatinine is 1.4 -His PR and INR are also high. The doctors have stopped all meds and have asked to wait till kidney heals up. But we are loosing patience. Need your expert advise. Please help.

YOu need to follow doctors instructions. if he could wait for years he can wait till his blood findings stabilize. this is not n emergency and for such complex procedure,patient must be well prepared. There is absolutely no reason to hurry with liver transplantation. Wish you good health. Regards
