Kidney transplant.: The patient clearly has advanced kidney failure and needs dialysis. In the long run, kidney transplantation would enable him to have a much more normal lifestyle than he could hope to achieve on dialysis.

Dialysis: You father will need to start dialysis due to his kidney disease. You father is still young enough to be considered for a kidney transplant (t). If he is lucky he may be able to get a kidney and pancreas transplant that would cure both his kidney disease and diabetes. If the absence of a t he will need to be on some sort of dialysis (d). While it a new life style many patients live well on d.
