What happens if my moms kidneys fail?

Kidney failure: If your mom's kidneys fail, she will need to start some sort of dialysis, peritoneal (pd) or hemodialysis (h). If she is young enough and in good physical condition, she may be able to have a renal transplant from a member of her family. Although starting dialysis is a life-changing event, many patients lead productive lives on it. Good luck with your mom.
