Hemodialysis safely

[Quita55]

Hello my name is Briana and I am considering doing hemodialysis at home. I live in a apartment and l hear that after your done with your treatment there is trash which may contain blood. How do you dispose of a bag with blood if you live in an apartment. Is there a specific way of doing this? I'm new to doing dialysis at home. All tips and advice will be appreciated.

This isn’t an answer to your question, but will you be doing solo HD dialysis at home? I know that there is now a portable HD dialysis machine that has been approved (FDA) for solo home HD dialysis with nephrologist prescription. Fresenius is now supporting solo home HD with this machine. I haven’t seen anyone participating in this forum that is doing solo HHD though. I would like to hear personal experiences with solo HHD ...

Whatever dialysis company your with should have a service that will pick up your biohazard box at least the company that I work for does.

Hi there, Have you ever thought of doing PD Dialysis instead. I think it’s much easier then dealing with needles. I’ve been doing it for 2 years and love it. Just a thought.
