Doctors told him that the only way for him to survive was either perform a kidney transplant or go through dialysis. Even though he is listed on the waiting list of his kidney recipients, it is expected to take about five to seven years to get it.
According to the doctor, He is also anemic and uremic. He is undergoing dialysis at home for nine hours every day and is unable to work. He is planning to go to India for a kidney transplant and has appealed for help. He is the only son of 70-year-old parents and his family is financially dependent on him.
