Hi my husband had an infection/sepsis and it brought his kidney function down to 6. He has been on dialysis for 3 months and his function is about 22 now. They have decided to stop dialysis for three weeks. We thought you had to have dialysis if your function was below 30 but our consultant says its 10 so he thinks he will come off dialysis. Would welcome your comments.

Hi, my consultant said 10% was the figure but I didn't start dialysis until 5%. I agree with tamekaS, research and ask questions. Rob
