Dialysis Support Group
Dialysis is a type of renal replacement therapy which is used to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function due to renal failure. It is a life support treatment and does not treat any kidney diseases. Dialysis may be used for very sick patients who have suddenly lost their kidney function or for quite stable patients who have permanently lost their kidney...
I was wondering if anybody knew why I am retaining so much fluid. I do 4 exchanges a day and I can't seem to get the fluid off.
These are my numbers today.
1. 1000 (2.5 bag)
2. 1500 (2.5 bag)
3. 1800 (4.25 bag)
4. I haven't done yet.
I take lasix (water pill everyday) what is going on?

Were you eating a bit too much sodium? or was your hemoglobin a bit low?
Also if you're not eating enough protein the fluid will not come out as fast.
Care to share what was going on?
Take care!
