Can dialysis cure uremia?

Patient's question:

Grandpa was diagnosed with uremia and went to the hospital. After the doctor conducted a thorough examination, he said that it was only possible to temporarily undergo dialysis. Can uremia be cured with dialysis?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description of the condition, currently in the stage of uremia, hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis can be used for treatment. Dialysis helps the kidneys remove toxins from the body, which can prolong the patient's life and improve their quality of life. However, it cannot completely cure uremia. It is merely a treatment method, so regular dialysis treatment is necessary. Drinking more water daily is also helpful in expelling bacteria. With proper treatment, recovery is possible.
