Why dialysis patient is easy to get swelling feet?

When patients with renal failure are undergoing dialysis, it means their kidneys have been damaged severely. It is a pity that dialysis cannot help repair kidney damage and improve renal function at all. As we all know, kidney has the ability to filter excessive fluid and waste products out of the body, and it also keeps the balance of electrolyte and acid-base. If kidney function is impaired, kidneys fail to discharge extra water out of the blood normally. As a result, excessive fluid builds up in the body. Besides, kidney damage causes the sodium retention, which also contributes to swelling for dialysis patients.
