dialysis an option for ra? | Arthritis Information

i was told that it could be an option since it would filter out the blood, has anyone else ever been told this or even heard of this?

i'm too scared to do so.

I don't think this is a good idea. If it was, the Dr's would have been doing it for a long time and for other diseases too.

lisa,  

do you have problems with your kidneys or did your doctor think it might be helpful cause of some kidney/RA related problems?

RA isn't a blood disease.  *is confused*no i dont have a kidney problem but i found an article online saying that dialysis is being used to treat ra since it's in the bloodstream and it filters the blood. for those who have opted for dialysis it has helped them.  i'll look for it again and add the link.
