I recently took Another KT/V and it came back below passing… with that being said I’m set to retake it again next week and if I don’t get a passing number on this next one then they will put me back on Hemodialysis which I feel will be a death sentence because I went to PD because the staff that worked in center was horrible. I’m gonna if test come back failing I will get a second opinion with a different Doctor and dialysis company before moving back to hemodialysis. What other companies are out there

Where are you located and whom are you currently with. The top 2 lLDO ( largest dialysis organizations) are Fresenius and DaVita. There are lots of smaller ones like DCI, RDA and others. More info please.Blessings
