Kidneys may require dialysis when they are functioning at only 10-15% of their normal capacity, which is often due to conditions like chronic kidney disease or acute kidney injury. At this stage, they cannot effectively filter waste products, excess fluids, and electrolytes from the blood, leading to potentially life-threatening complications. Dialysis helps perform these essential functions artificially, but it is not a cure, and patients typically need it regularly to maintain their health.
