Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Transplantation gives new life to kidney failure patients.
After transplantation, powerful immunosuppressant medicines are given to protect the new kidney from rejection by the patient's body.
So as you are saying your dad is in critical state.
Is his BP normal? Is he having any infection in his body?
If so he has to improve those before transplantation and he should be able to tolerate a 4-6 hr surgery and anesthetic medications.
Is a suitable donor available for him?
Transplantation is good for kidney failure patients in the long term.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
