Dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment for individuals with kidney failure which help the body remove waste products and extra fluid. Dialysis can be a short-term or long-term treatment depending on the situation. Patients who have acute kidney injury (AKI) may need dialysis for the short-term and discontinue when their kidney function improves. For those with irreversible kidney damage, dialysis may be long-term.
