Dear Mr. Lybrate-user with the limited data provided it is not possible to provide a comprehensive opinion. But if the egfr of your father is 8-9% as described then it is time to consider some form of renal replacement therapy for him. The options are hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation. Please get him evaluated at the earliest.
