Post Dialysis

Dialysis can only remove fluid that is in your bloodstream. Only about 15% of the fluid in your body is in your bloodstream. Dialysis takes fluid out of your blood. At the same time, some of the fluid in and between your cells slowly moves into your blood to replace the fluid taken off by dialysis. Dialysis can take fluid out of your blood faster than fluid in and between your cells can move into your blood. Even after a treatment, you may still have extra fluid in and between your cells.
