Does kidney dialysis invalidate the fast?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh: Does kidney dialysis invalidate the fast?

The Shaykh : First: May Allah bless you. Can the one who needs dialysis have it done at night, or not?

The questioner : He needs it during the day.

The Shaykh : I am asking you: is it possible for him to tell the doctors that the dialysis will be done at night? If it is possible, it is not permissible for him to have it done during the day in Ramadan. If it is not possible, he breaks his fast during the day because he is sick, and he makes it up later. Yes.
