Because he works and has his own work and always loves to travel around the world for business and for fun that’s why

@hana121706, I needed dialysis before my transplant because of acute kidney failure related to my liver failure. For me it was life or death situation. I was 60 at the time and did inpatient and then out patient hemodialysis. I know of other patients who were on dialysis prior to transplant because one never knows how long until a transplant can happen.
You have said that your husband does not want dialysis. Is there a particular reason for him to refuse it? Has he had a serious and informative conversation with his nephrologist about the pros and cons?
