Can a kidney dialysis patient get back kidney function? |
Or is it once on dialysis, always on dialysis? My friend thinks his kidneys may be starting to work again. He has been having dialysis for 4 months now. There are rare instances where kidney function may return, particularly after acute renal failure. Your friend may be making some urine (that is not unusual at all), but I doubt it will be enough or of good enough quality to stop dialysis. This is something your friend can discuss with is nephrologist (kidney doctor). Not from dialysis think it has to be shot for him to be placed on dialysis. He could always get a transplant though. |
