Dialysis is a preferable treatment for kidney failure patients with a GFR (glomerular filtration rate) of less than 15. In this procedure, toxins, wastes, and excessive electrolytes are removed from the blood. The types include hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and continous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).
