Hello, Kidney disease are classified broadly in two types on the basis of dialysis. One is Acute Kidney Injury(AKI). Anothe is chronic kidney disease(CKD). In AKI either no need of dialysis or required for some specific period of dialysis. But in CKD, you have to dialyse the patient at regular interval throughout. As in your case it s difficult to find out. But if you required more than a month of dialysis, it means probably your mother is suffering from CKD. In CKD, indication of dialysis is not only depends on urine output. There are so many factors which decide dialysis: Urine output, serum urea and creatinine level, serum potassium level, clinical symptoms and signs like breathlessness, swelling of whole body, loss of appetite. So only urine output, you can not decide the requirement of dialysis. As far as medicine concern, in my opinion Drugs are very necessary for CKD patients but if patient needs dialysis then there is less likely chance that patient can be controlled only in medicines without dialysis. So my advise is consult nearest Nephrologist and get a KFT done and watch for above symptoms and sign, if anything come positive then do dialysis. Thank you
