If your kidneys are not working properly – for example, because you have advanced chronic kidney disease (kidney failure) – the kidneys may not be able to clean the blood properly. Waste products and fluid can build up to dangerous levels in your body.
Indications for dialysis
- Severe fluid overload.
- Refractory hypertension.
- Uncontrollable hyperkalemia.
- Nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, gastritis with hemorrhage.
- Lethargy, malaise, somnolence, stupor, coma, delirium, asterixis, tremor, seizures,
- Pericarditis (risk of hemorrhage or tamponade)
