Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
He is in end stage kidney disease and that might be the cause for decreased urine output. As diuretics doesn’t shows any improvement, dialysis is the only option left. Consult a nephrologist and do a renal function test, if urea and creatinine is high he has to undergo dialysis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
