Hi
Welcome to HCM.
It looks like you have been diagnosed with CKD.
You HAVE become dialysis dependent.
Only kidney transplant surgery, if successful, can stop dialysis. Discuss with your doctor about AV GRAFT that can help people with thin veins.
Be in touch with your nephrologist on a regular basis.
Wishing you best health.
regards
DR GS
