My 91 year old mother is prescribed dialysis each Monday and Friday for three hours.  She battles going to dialysis each time.  We have missed a number of treatments but never more than one in a row.  Her blood chemistry reports have continually placed her counts and measurements at excellent levels.  My question is, can I determine by visual observation and according to how she feels if missing a treatment is overly detrimental?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As an experienced Urologist, let me assure you, that visual check-up, can't decide visual status of kidney function. According to level of kidney failure, as seen on tests like, Hb, sugar,creatinine, potassium,EKG, and general condition of person, need for dialysis is decided. Hope your doubt is cleared. You may contact me directly, with a question, on this site. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
