A member asked:
Can you have surgery with kidney disease? my father needs a hip replacement, but had liver disease.

Yes : For any surgery you must weigh the risks versus benefits of the procedure involved. Your father's primary care doctor will do a thorough evaluation preoperatively to see if he is medically fit to undergo surgery.

Surgery: Patients with kidney disease may have increased surgery complications. It also depends on how severe is the kidney disease, overall health, age and type of surgery.
