CHF on Dialysis

[helpneeded187]

Is it wise to put a CHF patient who had a stroke, 2 heart attacks, triple bi-pass and valve repair on dialysis?
His kidney numbers are very high and not functioning, but can the dialysis cuase the heart to stop?

Kidney dialysis can lower the blood pressure causing problems with the heart.  If the blood pressure drops too far, the liver shuts down due to the heart not pumping properly.  If the kidney dialysis is not started, the failing kidneys will make the heart worse.  If the kidney dialysis is started, it could prove fatal.  Kidney dialysis can do done in hope that it will not drop the blood pressure down too far.  If the kidney dialysis is not done, the heart will suffer.  People needing kidney dialysis long-term will usually live 6 months to a year according to the kidney specialist my mom had.  For our family members, we risked the kidney dialysis and went ahead with it.  It did not save their lives.  The kidney dialysis caused my grandfather to have a fatal massive heart attack. The kidney dialysis helped my mom, but ultimately her heart did not work and she passed away last September.  She had kidney dialysis once.  The kidney dialysis that my grandfather's sister had helped her to live an additional 6 months.  They all had severe CHF.  Hope this helps.  It's a hard decision to make.

My grandfather has congestive heart failure and is in his early 60's he's already had a quad bypass and the doctors are saying if he takes the stronger medicine to stop the fluid build-up then his kidneys will die completely and he will need dialysis.  He is refusing dialysis what can i tell her to reassure him that it will be worth it to go through dialysis???
