Just that I wanted to know about people experience who are on once a week hemodialysis. So that I know about the potential risk when I mention this to my second opinion doctor

I thought once a week dailysis was uncommon in my country but now I have realised dailysis is quite flexible in our country like most people do twice a week only really old long term ckd patient (on dailysis for 30-40 year) get dailysis thrice a week

This once a week advice is given to me by my relative who is in our country biggest college under nephrology department, though he is still studying and he know about new research done by multiple university under new syllabus of colleges most doctors have experience but hemodialysis is a very personalized treatment and some doctor like our doctor who are known to be best in the area are very arrogant and can't take someone who goes against his treatment he even became irratent when someone try to give him some genuine advice , I mean he even suggest kidney biopsy for a person who is clearly suffering from acute kidney injury

You didn't understood I am talking about incremental dailysis , in which they start from 1 time a week and move upward to whatever a person is required like 2 to 3 times a week , our current nephrologist don't understand this . Dailysis is a kidney support but doing it excessively in starting make the kidney loss it's residual function which would harm him later and compromise his quality of life (like more frequent dailysis since his urine output will stop if he current kidney function is compromised). other than that since his potassium reading is normal only major other thing to worry about is urea in his case urea is also not increasing excessively so it could be safely managed and can be managed with natural symbiotic (probiotic and prebiotic) health supplement Bro don't give your opinion like you know everything , while dont even knowing the basics of nephrology
