The Role of Dialysis in Sick Patients

In sick patients like this, sometimes the question is not will they ever need dialysis, but do they need it now? How do you make that decision? My answer would probably be yes. Reno replacement therapy gives you a way to control his volume. We can go off on a side track and say, well, is there a role for a diuretic or something here? And certainly that's something you can entertain.
