Dialysis is a renal replacement therapy and it can help remove wastes and toxins out of the body. Wastes and toxins should be removed by kidneys but once kidneys are damaged, they fail to do this. Thus, dialysis is required.

In general, when your kidney function has dropped to 15% or less, you may be recommended dialysis. But when to start dialysis mainly depends on your illness condition.

However, if you feel OK and have no obvious symptoms, dialysis can be put off or delayed.
