Good news for him too.

Mum is 52. Normally they say less then 65 for transplant suitability but that varies massively according to the person.

15% function is, I believe, better than what you get from dialysis. I guess that what they're trying to do is support the function by a 'light' dialysis regime.

Good luck to him.

Best bit of advice mum had was you dialyse to live, not live to dialyse.
