Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety. Your brother has kidney failure, with creatinine of 5.6.He'll need to see a nephrologist, with the following reports. A kidney biopsy, will give us an idea of, cause of kidney failure. Blood routine, creatinine,RBS, LFT,electrolytes, ECG and chest X-ray reports. After check-up and seeing reports, need for dialysis will be decided. He should restrict fluids, and diet to 6gm salt and 40 gm protein daily. If you've any doubts, send it as a direct question to me. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
