Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Kidney disease cannot tranfer like this. so you can relax about that. infections if any could be transmitted, especially hepatitis (in case your father is on dialysis).

since the prick is from insulin injection, just be careful about possible hypoglycemia, though its unlikely

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.
