Detailed explanation-2: -There are three main indications for emergency dialysis in acute renal failure: severe hyperkalaemia (K+ > 7mmol/L) which is resistant to medical therapy. pulmonary oedema refractory to medical therapy. worsening severe metabolic acidosis (pH < 7.2 or base excess <-10)
Detailed explanation-3: -Stage 5: Kidney failure (GFR less than 15). When the kidneys do not work well enough to maintain life, you will need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Detailed explanation-4: -Why do I need dialysis?
