Detailed explanation-1: -When is dialysis needed? You need dialysis if your kidneys no longer remove enough wastes and fluid from your blood to keep you healthy. This usually happens when you have only 10 to 15 percent of your kidney function left. You may have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, swelling and fatigue.
Detailed explanation-2: -With kidney failure, dialysis is only able to do some of the work of healthy kidneys, but it is not a cure for kidney disease. With ESKD, you will need dialysis for the rest of your life or until you are able to get a kidney transplant.
Detailed explanation-3: -It varies, because everybody is different. Each person’s medical status is unique. People with kidney failure may survive days to weeks without dialysis, depending on the amount of kidney function they have, how severe their symptoms are, and their overall medical condition. Is death from kidney failure painful?
Detailed explanation-4: -If you have kidney failure, you need dialysis or a transplant to stay alive. However, some people choose neither of these treatment options, but opt for supportive or palliative care instead.
