3x week: It seems that you have advanced kidney disease. Pts with chronic progressive kidney disease requires hemodialysis 3 x week, each session lasting 3- 4 hrs.Peritoneal dialysis is done everyday. Dialysis is required until the transplant . In simple terms. Kidneys work 24 hrs, 7 days a week. So , dialysis is required atleast 3 x week to do the function of kidneys.. Please discuss with nephrologist.
