Could this be end stage now?

Last time Dad had a blood test he had a stable GFR of around 28, this was about a years ago I think.
He is now 90 and the last month he has had daily visits from District Nurses to change his leg ulcer dressings. The dressings are soaked through with Odeima each day and he is now on Anti Biotics for leg infection and also back on Dieretics for last 5 days but still getting wet legs.
I am wondering if he has now reached End Stage causing the excess fluid loss?
He has had very restless legs today and I know restless leg syndrome is a symptom of End Stage. The symptom list also includes nausea but Dad had not experienced this. What do you think?
