What are the limitations of dialysis?

Dialysis has several limitations, including its inability to fully replicate all kidney functions, particularly the regulation of certain hormones and the removal of certain toxins. It can also lead to complications such as infections, cardiovascular issues, and dietary restrictions. Additionally, dialysis requires a significant time commitment, often several sessions per week, which can affect a patient's quality of life. Lastly, access to dialysis may be limited by factors such as availability of facilities and financial constraints.
