What happens when you miss 4 dialysis treatments?

Dialysis is a kind of treatment which can help purify blood and remove the excess fluid out, so it can help prolong the life expectancy for kidney failure patients when they have less than 15% kidney function. However, once patients start dialysis, they need to regular dialysis, about 3-4 times a week. Because dialysis can only replace about 15% of the work that healthy kidneys have done. After dialysis, the waste metabolism and fluid will increased again, so patients need to take regular dialysis.

If patients miss 4 dialysis treatment, there will be too much toxins and wastes and excess fluid building up in blood, which will cause damage to the organs in body and even cause failure of organs, which can be life-threatening for patients. So dialysis patients need to take dialysis according on their treatment schedule, which can make them to love a longer life.

Here are some suggestions for kidney disease patients to keep healthy on dialysis.

1. Keep a well planed diet, including limiting fluid and sodium intake.

2. If you cant come to a dialysis, you need to call the staff in dialysis center and make reschedule of your dialysis treatment soon.

3. Control well of your dry weight, which can help reduce the possible complications during dialysis.

Above are some of the suggestions for dialysis patients, and we hope this will be beneficial for them. In addition, we also recommend dialysis patients to take alternative treatment to improve their kidney function if they still have urination, which can help reduce the frequency of dialysis or even stop dialysis.
