My 80yo dad has opted for hospice..stopping dialysis. will the kidney failure be paunful? can it be controlled? dr.'s gave him 5days.

End of life.: Kidney failure after discontinuation of dialysis is not painful by it self.Multi system fails. Doctor will provide symptomatic relief .Your dad will not suffer.

Kidney failure: Kidney failure itself is not going to be painful. However, if he has other problems on top of it, he may experience pain. Kidney failure will cause a build up of toxic substances and he will enter a comatose state and pass away eventually.
