My husband just got out of ICU a few days ago and is doing better but still needs the dialysis. He was semicomatose and out of it - pretty scary for awhile.


Answers:

I was almost in renal failure at one point a couple months ago. It was about 2 weeks after a chemo treatment, I was extremly neutrupenic and was in the ICU for septic shock from an infection. I was sedated, so I dont really know everything that was going on, but they almost had to put me on dialysis for renal failure.
I dont know how long the dialysis will be needed or anything like that, but I do know that my kidney's are still not working entirely properly and I have to take daily potassium pills.
