Once dialysis is initiated, then you might need it to maintain the near normal Renal function. If the kidneys have malfunctioning for a brief while, then it would be recovering once the trigger cause is treated, otherwise if it is a long standing problem, then you might permanent periodic hemodialysis or dialysis by other forms
