Why dialysis patients gradually have no urine output?

Dialysis is just to take over part of kidney function to cleanse the blood rather than repair the damaged kidneys. During dialysis, it is likely for your kidneys to suffer from ischemia and anoxia, and dialysis can only remove the micromolecule waste products while other kinds of waste products are still in the blood. These factors can impair your kidney function further. As time goes on, your kidneys become sclerosis totally and then no blood flows through them. As a result, you have no urine output.

It is better for you to have urine output.

When you have no urine output, you have to limit water intake to prevent too much water retains in body during dialysis sessions. If you have urine output, there is no such a restriction. And as long as you have urine output, it means there is blood through kidneys. And then active ingredients of medicine can go into your kidneys to help them recover.
