When does a patient need to undergo dialysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When kidneys fail: People are treated with dialysis when the kidneys are no longer able to perform their main functions: filtering out toxins and removing excess body fluids. For an excellent reference, look for the book "Help! I Need Dialysis!" by Dori Schatell and John Agar, MD. LGromkoMD
