Question 1

ouch phorporus in blood comm8ng out skin help hurts warm compress anyrhing else taling meds doing dialysis never miss a trea5ment hust help me get pas?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Take the advantage that your treating doctors have known so much about you through dialysis so ask them for detail. But make sure you're willing to hear what you need to hear not just what you like to hear. Online inquiry for your individual need would not suffice to address your concern to meet your satisfaction.

Question 2

what happens if i miss to many dialysis treatments?

Accepted Answer

Bad Things: Water and waste products accumulate when you skip or miss a dialysis treatment.  Neither of these are good for you.  Best have a long talk with your doctor about the details.

Question 3

hi my husband has dialysis 3times a week, monwedand fri. he has had a dental treatment and feeling unwell and decided to miss today. will he be ok?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: The best plan is to share his symptoms with the people at the dialysis center so they can evaluate his feeling unwell. Skipping treatment may just make him feel worse and poses risk to his well being. Get him back in touch with the center to schedule a session right away.

Question 4

what is the heavy feeling i feel through out my whole body after missed dialysis treatment?

Accepted Answer

Fluid: When you miss hd, you retain more fluid and you either swell up, gain weight or get short of breath. Your electrolytes also become abnormal and your strength can go down. So don't miss your hd.

Question 5

what happens if a patient misses a dialysis session?

Accepted Answer

Clean & Squeeze: Dialysis is both about cleaning (dialysis) the blood of toxins and squeezing (ultra-filtering) excess fluid out. Both functions are done constantly in patients with normal function.   Missing a session puts you 4-5 days between treatments and at risk for electrolyte and/or fluid retention problems.

Question 6

what is dialysis?

Accepted Answer

Cleaning of blood: There are two main types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Both types filter your blood to rid your body of harmful wastes, extra salt and water. Hemodialysis does that with a machine. Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of your abdomen, called the peritoneal membrane, to filter your blood.

Question 7

recreational dialysis, is there such thing?

Accepted Answer

?vacation dialysis: I think you might be referring to dialysis performed when patients receiving dialysis go away on vacation. Temporary dialysis can be arranged at centers all over the United States and still paid for by insurance. It has to be arranged well in advance and medical information shared to the temporary dialysis unit. It allows for a more normal lifestyle for patients, especially for family visits.

Question 9

does dialysis cause dehydration?

Accepted Answer

It can: Dialysis serves two functions.  One is to remove some of the toxins in the blood that are no longer able to be removed by the kidneys due to kidney failure.  The other is to remove fluid that has accumulated due to the diseased kidneys. If the dialysis prescription is incorrect in relation to the patient's "optimal" or dry weight, too much fluid can be removed and the person can become dehydrated.

Question 10

can you skip dialysis for a week?

Accepted Answer

Not a good Idea: This is really not a wise choice.  While you are likely to survive if you limit you water intake and severely modify your diet, this is a high risk activity.  Before you even consider this, talk with your dialysis doctor and explain what is really happening with you to cause you to consider skipping dialysis.
