What i can do about my kidney i am on dialyse two times a week three hours a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dialysis two times: Unfortunately, your kidney function is not good enough to keep you off dialysis. You have some residual kidney function (rkf) allowing you to have 2 dialysis sessions/week. As the months go on, you may need to be dialyzed three times/week as your rfk declines. I do not think that anything can be done to reverse your kidney failure and only a kidney transplant can get you off hemodialysis.
