What happens when you stop kidney dialysis?
Without life-sustaining dialysis or a kidney transplant, once a person with kidney disease reaches Stage 5 (end stage renal disease (ESRD)), toxins build up in the body and death usually comes within a few weeks. Having just cared for a person who voluntarily elected to cease dialysis, and having been present for the last 9 hours of life, I can tell you that renal failure CAN be one of the "easiest" ways to go. In this case, there were several underlying conditions, so the process only took 4 days. The patient became more and more sleepy over time. She fell asleep about 6 hours before death and simply slowed her breathing down until it stopped. Although this was somewhat faster than most cases, the progression was textbook. In some cases a brief period of confusion may exist for the patient as it becomes harder and harder to think as the toxins build up. It would appear that these toxins act to reduce the sensitivity of the brain and it's ability to communicate pain and suffering. This patient was actually able to greatly reduce the amount of pain medications which she had previously been taking as the end neared.
Are Peritoneal Dialysis supplies 2.5 dialysis solution available by prescription only?
I don't think so, because i conducted my grand mothers dialysis, and the
dialysis company just delivered a whole lot supplies to my house without any prescription whatsoever. These are the 2.5 Dextrose and the 4.25 Dextrose peritoneal solutions. I have a garage full that i would like to get rid of before 2009. Unfortunately my grandmother passed away recently. I have other supplies as well.

Why arterial blood is taken during dialysis?
We say we are drawing from the "art" port, but often, it is not arterial blood that is drawn.

Usually before dialysis a doctor will perform an arteriogram/venigram. This is to map the location of veins and arteries in your arm. Then the doctor will bring a vein and artery together towards the surface, creating a fistula. The area usually cannot be used for about a month. In some cases, such as an emergency, tubes are inserted into veins and arteries in the chest. This type of portal can be used right away.
