There is a chance that dialysis may help with AS by getting rid of the substances causing inflammation. However, I doubt that here are any studies to prove it. It is possible that it has a tiny effect, say reducing inflammation by 5 percent. For such modest gains, it would not be recommended as routine treatment, as dialysis itself has complications.
