Interest in home dialysis
Hi there, I'm looking to better understand the
dialysis
experience in hopes of improving it, especially better understanding home
dialysis
pain points. Would anyone be open to connecting to discuss their experience, or taking < 3 minutes to complete this survey?

Dialysis Side Effects
My husband recently started (Nov 23)
dialysis
treatment at a community clinic. He has hypertension, so is medicated for that too.

Fiancé is in desperate need of a kidney
He’s been on
dialysis
for 3 years and is in dire need of a kidney. He’s been so positive and happy during this time , he even started a business this year all while being on
dialysis
. It’s been very inspiring to watch! I want to spread the word!

C.K.D stage 4/5
I have at present an EGFR of 10 at my hospital we don't start
dialysis
until its consecutively below ten. I have tried to discuss transplantation and have been told I'm not there yet. Apparently I need yo be having
dialysis
before it's even discussed. Can I ask is there a.reason for that.

I'm trying to re-enter the world and connect with people who share the

procedure. I don't really talk much with the other patients because I have seen so many HD friends, and techs come and then go in my 7 years of

New to in center HD
Is this related to the
dialysis
, or is something else going on? Juvenile diabetic, CHF, hypertension. Kidney function been decreasing last 5 years. I've been on transplant list (kidney/pancreas) for one year, was hoping to skip
dialysis
altogether. But here we go.

Dialysis or Transplant?
I have had 19 blood readings of 20 or less (to 11) since May 2021. Currently 14. Exhausted. Fatigued is not the word! There has been no talk of transplant at all. Only Haemodialysis, as I am on my own with no support it would be in hospital. Also it would be in a satellite premises a 1.5 hours
