Detox Foot Patches & Dialysis: A Risky Combination

No, dialysis patients should not use detox foot patches.

Dialysis patients have compromised kidney function and may have difficulty eliminating toxins from their body that accumulate. Using detox foot patches may further burden their kidneys and lead to complications such as fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances, and increased levels of toxins in the body. In some cases, the patches may also lead to skin allergies and other adverse reactions.
