Patients on dialysis have to get appropriate times of dialysis every month. In this way, the wastes and fluids can be eliminated well to keep healthy for patients. If you do not get enough dialysis, bad appetite, sleeping problems, and fatigue may occur on you. So, how can you know if enough dialysis is done for you?

In hemodialysis, blood is tested to see the difference before dialysis and after dialysis. In this way, we can know if patients get enough dialysis. This method is named Kt/V and urea reduction ratio(URR). If you get low Kt/V and URR, that means you are very likely to not get enough dialysis. For patients on dialysis, it is very necessary and important to do dialysis regularly with doctors requesting, do not miss any one.

In peritoneal dialysis, Kt/V is done according to blood test, urine collection and bag collection in 24 hours. Just as hemodialysis, patients with PD also should do strictly as doctors instruct to do dialysis with planned times.

In addition, patients on dialysis need to talk with doctor and dietitians in detail to set up a detailed diet plan, because a good healthy diet is very helpful for treatment and improper diet also does harm to patients.
