My son who is 17 has renal failure, he has dialysis three times a week for three hours. what hope is there for him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
17 year old on HD: I am sorry to hear about your son's misfortune. He can look forward to a renal transplant from either a family member or from a deceased donor. Speak to your son's nephrologist about a renal transplant program near you and get more information on what you can do. Good luck.
