My father has been diagnosed with stage 5 CKD
Hello everyone,
First of all, thank you for your time reading this, I really appreciate any help or experience.
My father was diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure. The doctors have put him in on dialysis yesterday and I'm panicking.
We are based in the UK, he was stage 4 last year in November but stage 5 now.
To people who are going through dialysis, have done a kidney transplant or any other solution, or if you know anyone with the same issue, how are or were your experiences?
I am desperately trying to find any type of donation, live donor or deceased donor, but seeing the waiting time brings me further down.
I am also considering giving my kidney to my father. What is the process for that? Who do I talk to and what procedures do I have to go through?
Apologies if anything doesn't make any sense, I'm open to answering questions.
Thank you again.
