Dialysis is warranted depending upon the level of kidney function. A blood test that reflects the level of creatine (a waste product of cellular functions) in the blood. If the level of Creatine is too high, it means that the kidneys have either had a pathological partial or full failure and waste products that are usually 'filtered' out of the blood into the urine (from the kidneys to the bladder before it is expelled). Dialysis is a treatment that takes the patient's blood and pumps it through very fine filters to remove the cellular waste products from the blood and therefore prevent a general shutdown of the kidneys and later the whole body.
