unfortunately there are not much medicines to help in kidney failure.
indications for dialysis include high level of potassium, medicines like sodium bicarbonate does help a bit to reduce potassium levels (Nephrologists opinion is a must before you start these medicines)
but if the kidneys are in total failure then dialysis is the only solution.
