Is Weight Gain Normal Post Dialysis?
i know a friend who gets dialysis. His weight before dialysis was 114.7 pounds. After dialysis it was 116.8 lbs. He does not understand with how much weight is considered normal to gain or loose after dialysis. Please explain. When does he need to contact his kidney doctor when it comes to weight gain or loss?

Hello,
Possible causes like fluid over load must be ruled out. Dialysis per day does not cause weight gain. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
