i want to get botox but i am a dialysis patient and i am worried that i will waste my money because it might dialize out.
Answer: Botox while on Dialysis?
Hi Daisy. We do not know of any problems associated with getting Botox while on dialysis.
With any cosmetic treatment, we defer to the physician in charge of the more pressing health concern (dialysis) before providing the procedure. If he/she cleared you, then we would be fine proceeding.

Answer: Botox While on Dialysis
Most likely but please check with the nephrologist FIRST! I have found no contraindication in the medical literature concerning this issue.

Answer: Botox should be ok while on dialysis
Your concerns about dialyzing out should not keep you from having Botox. Generally and practically speaking the amount of botulinum toxin that reaches your systemic circulation should be minimal as its primary mode of action is locally.

Answer: Botox and dialysis
Check with your nephrologist but Botox should not present a problem unless you are taking aminoglycoside medication (which I doubt as that can be very bad for the kidney).

Answer: Should be ok but ask your nephrologist.
Hi Daisy
I have several patients who get cosmetic BOTOX who are on dialysis. The BOTOX is locally absorbed and that process is not subject to dialysis. However, you kidney doctor is the ultimately responsible for your care. As an injector, I would want to know that your nephrologist had no concerns. WIth that approval, I would not have reservations treating you for cosmetic indications.
