Hello doctor. My mother was born in 1963, has hemodialysis, has been on dialysis with peritoneal dialysis for 4 years. At this time, there was an infection, so he was treated for nearly 10 days by the doctor at the hospital and was assigned to remove the tube to switch to dialysis. How long after surgery will dialysis normalize? And so how long does the dialysis time last? Thank you doctor for helping me.

Answer
Hello. Due to the infection, the woman was on hemodialysis by placing a catheter and dialysis the kidney through a dialysis machine, so if the infection is well controlled, it is possible to switch to peritoneal dialysis. If the infection is not well controlled, dialysis will continue through the catheter. And then the treating doctor will plan for future dialysis.
