It really depends on type of work, type of dialysis. I worked as cashier at Wal-Mart for 7 years before disability. Nobody can answer it for you. Lots of people work full time, finish college, start a family, buy a home, travel the world etc and still do dialysis. Some don't. Talk to your doctor.

Not what you're looking for?
