Dialysis is a lifesaving therapy that helps remove extra fluid and waste products from the body when the kidneys are not able to. Left untreated, waste products and fluids can build up to dangerous levels in the body – eventually becoming fatal.
Individuals who have chronic kidney disease (kidney failure) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), may need dialysis. Injuries and conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes and lupus can also damage kidneys, leading to kidney disease and necessitating the need for dialysis.
