Dialysis frequency

Would UK dialysis patients who dialyse in hospital prefer a 3 day a week regime or a regime of 7 days per fortnight . It is suspected that 7 days per fortnight will enable some patients to feel fitter because it eliminates the two day period without dialysis.

If hospital HD patients were made aware of this and the benefits they may well prefer to do seven days per fortnight thus avoiding the two day break

no i would like to stay with the 3 day a week i think the one thing you should do why on dialysis is to keep fit and carry on with work as this works for me very well as i am a gardener its very hard work but i seem to drink more then most people but i work it off
