What are the health risks of kidney dialysis machines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Renal dialysis: machines do not dialyze the kidney. they remove toxins from the blood that the kidney normally does. So risks are; 1. You die without dialysis. I call this a bad risk. 2. You live longer and feel better. I call this a good risk. Other than that discuss you particular situation with your medical team.
