You will.need to continue dialysis. Having a good urine output is definitely a good sign, as it will prevent u from going into fluid overload. But since u r young, going for a renal transplant will.be a more viable option than remaining on hemodialysis.
Peritoneal.dialysis will also be a better option for you if u hav a very good urine output.

Hi
That is your residual renal function. It will only slowly decline in coming years on dialysis.
Urea creatinine monitoring on dialysis is only for the nephrologist to know the efficacy of your dialysis therapy.
Don’t worry…
