I would like to search Kidney School for:
Module 2—Treatment Options for Kidney Failure
So far, what are your thoughts about HD? Check all that apply:
I need to be able to keep my job and help support my family. Getting more treatment and having less risk of long-term problems sounds good. I want staff to do my treatments for me. I like the idea of doing treatments in my home, on my own schedule. I would rather have treatments with other patients in a center. I would rather have treatments with my family and friends around me. Having built-in quiet time each week would be a good thing. I'm worried about the dialysis needles. I'm not sure I could live with the diet and fluid limits of standard HD. Needing to buy and take fewer drugs sounds like a plus to me. I don't think I want to do dialysis treatments myself—at least not yet. I don't want a dialysis machine in my house. I think my family and I could learn to do HD at home. I'm not sure what my thoughts are. Add your own comments here:
