What are the results of kidney damage from shigellosis?
Kidney failure and damage to red blood cells cause 15% of patients deaths and half the survivors develop chronic kidney failure, requiring dialysis.
Can dialysis be temporary?
it doesn't always have to be permanent because people on dialysis machines can get kidney transplants, not just people on the dialysis get kidney transplants but people who are on the waiting list can also get a kidney transplant.
What if you don't have a kidney transplant?

What will happen to the body if you get kidney failure?
Kidney failure results in death in a few days, usually less than a week, unless the person receives a kidney transplant or is put on a dialysis machine.
Why when a person is first diagonosed with kidney failure they are put on dialysis first rather than a transplant?
It is very hard to find a kidney transplant. In some countries it can take several years before you can get a transplant.
What are the chances that failed kidneys will recover enough to stop dialysis?
The chances of failed kidneys recovering enough to stop dialysis depend on the underlying cause of kidney failure and the extent of damage to the kidneys. In some cases, acute kidney injury may improve with treatment, allowing the kidneys to recover and resume functioning. However, in chronic kidney disease, the chances of complete recovery are lower, and long-term dialysis or a kidney transplant may be needed.
If you have chronic kidney failure can you recover?
This is a long term condition which people can live with for a number of years. The only way you could 'recover' - i.e. be free of this disease, is to have a kidney transplant which may fail and requires taking 'anti-rejection' drugs for the rest of your life. The short answer is yes but only if you're lucky enough to get a transplant!
