is renal function recovery and discontinuation of long term hemodialysis possible in patients with presumed end stage kidney disease the role of topraks kidney care

Abstract End stage kidney disease patients who started on hemodialysis are considered to need hemodialysis forever, unless a kidney transplantation is performed. Patients with presumed end stage kidney disease that require hemodialysis over 90 days have very little chance of recovering renal function to remove from dialysis. However, according to recent studies and largescale registries, up to 8% of patients with end stage kidney disease receiving hemodialysis recover some degree of kidney function allowing discontinuation of dialysis. Toprak’s Kidney Care is one of the kidney care program which allows to recover kidney functions in end stage kidney disease patients.
