I am currently scheduled for surgery to receive a catheter which I will then have home diaylsis. My kidneys are at 6 percent. Why have I over the past year gained so much weight and it is mostly in my belly. Will it go away after I start diaysis? I know part of it is due to loss of enery. Can you help me?
Probably you're talking about peritoneal dialysis. Yes. If dialysis can be done, then lots of fluids can be removed from body and your weight will come down.
