[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist and transplant surgeon, I can understand your concern. Kidney transplants are usually not done at 75 years age. The rate of rejection is high, as the risk rates are very high. Recurrent pulmonary edema and heart failure, with long-standing diabetes, are major medical conditions. Surgery also is a high risk major procedure. All these are to be considered, in decision-making.It's best for him to continue with maintained dialysis. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
