Wegener's granulomatosis

My mother was diagnosed with Wegeners and Kidney failure almost 9 years ago. They (or it) has taken a great toll on her and it seems she has several doctor appointments all year round. I am trying to be educated on the statement that if her kidney function continues to decline, they would not offer dialysis because it may make her condition worse. She is 74 and I don't believe to be healthy enough or a candidate for a kidney transplant.
Anything you can offer or suggest would be appreciated.

Dialysis may be her only option. I believe 70 is the cut off age for transplants.
