Recovery of Renal Function in Patients on Maintenance Dialysis

Recovery of renal function is an unexpected occurrence in patients on maintenance dialysis. Yet, the recognition of someone’s ability to discontinue dialysis has important medical, psychological and economic consequences. Ideally, the likelihood of recovery should be taken into account when planning for renal transplantation in an individual dialysis patient. In this article, we will review data from large renal failure registries, smaller series and case reports, and describe the incidence and factors predictive of recovery of renal function in maintenance dialysis patients, as well as the renal outcome after recovery.
