Is Dialysis a Cure?

In some cases of sudden or acute kidney failure, a short amount of time on Dialysis can heal the kidneys enough for normal function. However, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is not as simple of a fix. 

CKD is a disease that progresses over time. Your kidneys will not heal from the dialysis but rather the dialysis will act as your kidneys to keep you alive. Dialysis is needed until a transplant is received.
