Kidney failure, or other terminal diseases when the body's organs begin to shut down, and the body is unable to get rid of the body waste products and maintain electrolyte balance.

Dialysis is for Renal (kidney) failure. The dialysis machine actually serves as a kidney. It is done 3 times a week and once it is started they have to do it either until the person dies or gets a new kidney. My grandmother was on dialysis for years and my father in law did too.
