Hi and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.
Your father is suffering from CKD or chronic kidney disease or failure.
He also has high uric acid levels. All these need urgent medical treatment.
If they're wanting to do angiography,the kidney function has to be normal.
But as the kidney function is lower than normal,it can't be done.
A kidney biopsy will be planned to know,what's the reason for the failure.
He'll need to undergo maintainence dialysis or a kidney transplantation.
Any other doubts can be cleared,by sending a direct question,in my name.
