Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety.
You're having CKD with fluid retention.
Your creatinine and electrolytes level,haven't been written.
Your nephrologist can advise,if the dialysis needs to be done thrice weekly.
In that case,the fluid will not be retained in the body and you'll feel better.
Without your reports,it's difficult to comment otherwise,on any other options.
