Yes, a person with sepsis can undergo dialysis treatment if they experience acute kidney injury or renal failure as a complication of the condition. Dialysis may be necessary to help remove toxins and excess fluids from the body when the kidneys are not functioning properly. However, the decision to initiate dialysis depends on the patient's overall condition, the severity of sepsis, and the underlying cause of kidney impairment. Medical professionals will carefully evaluate these factors before proceeding with treatment.

A dialysis patient also comes in contact with more water than the average person, and no orally, but directly with their blood. The purified water used in the treatment is used to make the dialysate used in the treatment. Water is treated to well below EPA standards to meet AAMI standards for dialysis.
