    Right? Like I’m not a big medical smarty-pants or anything, but if your kidney is boomed by trauma cant you just use a machine for a while to filter your blood untill you get a new one???

    • That’s the impression i’m under, I mean, there’s a good chance if someone kidneys are crushed there’s other internal organs that are just fucked too but idk they cite renal failure as cause of impending death. But yeah I was under the impression that if your kidneys are fucked, yeah that’s not good but you can survive on dialysis as long as you’re near a hospital. But idk maybe there are limits to dialysis
