She has been hospitilized 2 times in the last few months and was just hosptialized with over load of fluid and becoming septic. I feel like the dyalisis is not helping....what can be done. She is only 36.

Dear friend,
The problem you faced is a chronic renal failure. And dialysis is the main part of treatment for that. As your daughter is just 36 then you should go for the other only available option as renal transplantation. It having a good result with good success rate with possibly good quality of life.
Get well soon.
