nbabehzad, I'm so sorry to hear of acute renal disease in someone so young. As you say that this has been caused by cold and throat infections, hopefully the dialysis will resolve the problem. It's quite likely that the baby became dehydrated due to the infections in which case the dialysis should help. The following extract taken from a reliable health source may help to reassure you:

"Infection

Treatment for hemolytic uremic syndrome includes maintaining normal salt and fluid levels in the body to ease symptoms and prevent further problems. A child may need a transfusion of red blood cells delivered through an intravenous (IV) tube. Some children may need dialysis for a short time to take over the work the kidneys usually do. Most children recover completely with no long-term consequences. More information is provided in the NIDDK health topic, Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in Children.

Children with post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis may be treated with antibiotics to destroy any bacteria that remain in the body and with medications to control swelling and high blood pressure. They may also need dialysis for a short period of time. More information about post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is provided in the NIDDK health topic, Glomerular Diseases."

I do hope your baby will soon make a complete recovery.
