Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
You should've understood by now, that dialysis is an artificial kidney.
Dialysis is needed thrice weekly, in patient's with very poor kidney function, as in stage 5 failure. With so many vital parameters, like heart function,diabetes,age also is important, his general condition is compromised severely. It's impossible for any doctor to predict, how long he'll survive without dialysis.You can get it done free of cost at government hospitals.
