Nephrologist,  's  Response
Reduction of weight between dialysis is not very common. probably your uncle is not taking appropriate fluids or urine output is normal. As long as his urinary output per day is equal to his fluid intake ,weight gain problem won't occur. Regarding improvement of kidney status.. recovery unusual after 8 months of dialysis.. However he should be evaluated by expert nephrologist for any chances of recovery which is possible in1-2% cases. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
