Can't all patients that have terminal kidney disease go on dialysis?

No. Dialysis is very expensive and few people could actually afford it out of their own finances. Most insurance companies only cover dialysis for acute (temporary) illnesses. Once a patient goes on dialysis for a chronic problem, he/she will have to use dialysis for the rest of their lives (or until they get a transplant). A persons kidneys remove waste and toxins 24/7. Dialysis only works when the patient is hooked to the machine. Thus, the body is subject to alternating high and low levels of salt, waste, poison in the blood. This causes damage to the other parts of the body and does not address the root problem of the kidney failure. For those who are sick enough to have failing kidneys, this high and low levels can actually harm them. Some patients are not strong enough to handle the process of being hooked up to the machines all day. For other patients it is a quality of live versus quantity of life issue. Since dialysis eventually fails for all patients it is not a cure - it only buys some extra time. For some patients it is better to be off daily dialysis for a few months then suffer daily dialysis for several months. In short some people can not go on dialysis because of a lack of funding, for some it does more harm, some are not strong enough to handle dialysis, for many it does not help the condition, and for many dialysis does not add enough time to overcome the loss of quality living.
