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. 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).
