My uncle is suffering from Chronic renal Grade 2 kidney disease. And both kidneys has stopped working. hemoglobin level in blood had reduced to 4.8 ,from 13. Now doctor has advised him for Dialysis twice a week. My question is, Can these kidneys start working after a while? And how long dialysis has to be done? Is there any other treatment along with dialysis to make kidney proper, Or is transplant only the way?

lybrate-user If your uncle kidney have stop working than dialysis is option for time being. In case of acute factor on chronic kidney disease than dialysis may stop in few patients but full recovery in CKD stage 2 is not possible. If kidney is chronic damage stage 4-5 than would be needing dialysis 2-3 times / week.
