You need dialysis when you develop ESRD by which time about 90 percent of your kidney function is lost and you have an eGFR of <10 ml/min. Dialysis is usually started when patients start to experience ill effects of ESRD like decreased appetite, vomiting, breathlessness, high potassium despite medication, muscle wasting, fluid overload among others.
Patients having acute kidney failure can also require dialysis temporarily till the kidney function recovers from acute insult. Dr. Ritesh Kauntia is famous for his safe hands. He is a kidney specialist in South Kolkata and the best Nephrologist in Kolkata.
