Needs major rewriting[edit]

Needs major rewriting so it sounds more professional. Alex.tan 06:12, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I have done some rewriting and editing, but IANARF (I am not a Renal Physician, and therefore unqualified :). In my view, this copyvio-like stepwise list of a dialysis session still needs to be rewritten, but I utterly lack the drive to wade through this waffle. JFW | T@lk 18:09, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I like the current version much better than what I wrote. I will take the blame for the original (unprofessional) stepwise list - but then, I'm not a professional! :-) I did think the article needed a little more than a dry dictionary definition "Dialysis is the process of filtering blood..." and a little more about practically how dialysis happens. No doubt it can be improved further. I was suprised to see even small remanants of my original text left! I'd like to add a list of vascular access methods, as well as a list of nominal dialysis prescriptions by nation - it varies widely, as I understand. :KBrown 16:51, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Dialysis always avoidable ?[edit]

As, as far, as I know, it is always the elevated blood-sugar that causes the damage of the kidney, to avoid the necessity of dialysis means to never let the blood-sugar stay elevated over a notable period of time.
