Hello.Welcome to HCM. I have read your question and understand your concerns.
once END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE occurs there are only 2 options available to the patients.
1. Regular maintenance dialysis for life time.
2. Kidney transplantation.
My advice to you is-

1.If you can find a suitable donor for kidney transplantation then it will be the best treatment available.Meanwhile maintain regular dialysis is essential for continuation of life.we cant stop dialysis of a failing kidneys otherwise person cant survive more than few weeks.

2.The symptoms you have mentioned are all due to kidney failure.Just ask your doc about inj.erythropoitein to increase his HB levels.Avoid excessive salt and water use.Avoid any type of pain killers and excessive protein diet.

3.Do his kidney profile every monthly and keep in regular followup of your nephrologist.
Thank you.
