It depends on what is the cause of your kidney failure. In instances of infections or possible surgery the kidneys may become swollen and not able to function temporarily. Many times as the conditions resolve so does the kidney failure. This can be monitored by blood lab work; such as GFR (Glomular filtration rate) and can be confirmed with a 24hr urine sample. (Ask your Dialysis staff or attending practitioner.
In many cases the failure is complete and the only resolution is transplant to regain function. Unfortunately we are born with a fixed number of nephrons and when they are damaged they remain damaged. If your diagnosis is ESRD (End-Stage Renal Disease) to survive you must have dialysis. Keep in mind normally your kidneys function seven days a week 24 hours a day to clear toxins. If they are damaged dialysis replicates that function. Without it toxins and/or fluids build up poisoning the or essentially drowning the patient.

What about when you are on dialysis how long does THC take to get out of your system on dialysis?
I dont think so, because even though dialysis cleans out all toxins from your body, dialysis is at the same time working as a kidney right?...Well, if the kidneys job is to filter out toxins, how come people with healthy kidneys drug tests come up positive? Its an iffy situation...I guess the only way to find out is to be a dialysis patient, smoke some marijuana...After that, finish a dialysis session then go get tested and let me know how it turns out I am on dialysis and have been surprized tested and was negatve after smoking 2 weeks prior nota heavy smoker now but after 3 days of dialysis per week I was clean sooner than if I didn't have dialysis takes 30 days to clear the body?
