Hi,
Your father may be suffering form Chronic kidney disease or Diabetic Nephropathy. This is an irreversible disease and you have to go for regular dialysis to improve the quality of life. Bit it's not a permanent solution for your father. The most important aspect is blood sugar. you must control your father's blood sugar level (fasting 80-110 mg/dl and after meal 130-160). For this you have to start with Inj. Insulin preferably. Because Drug is not kidney safe fully. After then you think about kidney transplant because dialysis is not the cure. Till then continue the dialysis and control the blood sugar level.
Thank you
