It is not available in pakistan nor any significant data on it.
Asalamoalikum, well this therapy is not available uptill now, even in most developed countries, stage 5 patient should ideally be going for preemptive renal transplant, if not should check his creatinine clearance if less then 10 ml/min, should go for either peritoneal dialysis If having good urine out put, otherwise AV fistula for hemodialysis.
