New dialysis frequency poll
By Stu on Jul 22, 2006 in kidney, renal, Dialysis
I’m interested to see how many days people dialyse in different parts of the world. So I’ve added a poll to the left sidebar of the page. If you happen to drop by, and are on dialysis, why not head over and vote in the poll?
Cheers

need help. looking to find out anything i can on frequency of dialysis. my mom is about to go back on dialysis (hers was caused from septic shock, was on for 16 months, off for 16 years). She still has some renal function but not enough. Dialysis screws up your life so, my father and i were wondering if it is posssible to have dialysis just once or twice a week and do ok. she has lived with a creatine of 4.9 for over a year. if they do dialysis once a week, wouldn’t it clean enough to do more than her kidneys are doing now. As you can tell, we don’t know a whole lot, and most of what we find is in lingo we can’t understand (and i am a college graduate). any help would be appreciated.
