Consult intensivist: This issue is too complicated to be addressed in this forum. You would do well to consult with a specialist in intensive care.

Dialysis and shock: Any patient (P) with septic shock is gravely ill. Kidneys stop working when the blood pressure drops leading into renal failure. The worsening of the P could be due to other factors other than hemodialysis. One of them is the overwhelming bacterial infection present in the patient. If the BP is too low for dialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy may be an option, ask the P's docs.
