hi,
dialysis is the last option.
If this is a drug induced oedema,then stopping the drug and taking diuretics can help.
Only if this does not help,then you can go for dialysis.
thanks

Yes it can ,in my opinion stop the steroids first and try apple ..celery and diuretic drug ..improve potassium level by taking banana for example..then go to dialysis if the problem persists..
