Dialysis only works to maintain kidney function . It is not treatment . If he is CKD stage V then only treatment is transplant.
His symptoms are all uremic symptoms and signs of under dialysis.
As his age is over 70 , transplant may not be feasible for him .
Ideal haemodialysis should be done thrice weekly . Remember we are trying to do the job of the kidney which works 24X7 in 12 hrs
He requires a high protein diet atleast 1.2g/kg
Monitor his blood work regularly and correction as per reports .
Next Steps
Regular consultation with nephrologist
Thrice weekly dialysis
