Hey.

Welcome to HCM.

As you said that you have stage 4 kidney failure, then in such cases Dialysis is must.

Do not worry, please go ahead and consult a good Nephrologist near you so that Dialysis can be precisely done to you with out any adverse effects.

If still you are not willing for Dialysis, then the last thing would be kidney transplantation.

Hope i have answered your question. If you have any other questions, then i will be happy to answer it.

Wish you good health.
Take good care.

Warm Regards.
