Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what your brother is going through. This is the best treatment for CKD stage 5 with multiple dialysis sessions weekly. It would be the magic pill that can make him feel a lot better and even live without the need of dialysis. I hope it goes on as planned and great!

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish him the best of health and your mom well.
