Hello, It seems your dialysis sessions are going well. I need to know further about your iron levels and RBC indices, so that i can suggest you few investigations. For your urine output, i cannot suggest much. Your kidneys are not able to excrete water because of complete failure. You can consult your physician if diuretics can do some favour. Take care.
