I’m also at 15 for the last 2 years but I still feel ok so I’m holding off dialysis until I absolutely have other choice

When my eGFR was in the teens, my nephro put on the hard sell for dialysis. It was only 6 more months before I had a fistula installed, and three months later, when my eGFR hit 7, I was on HD.

Hi there, if you do not mind me asking, what was the reasoning behind going on hemodyalisis vs peritoneal dialysis?

In my case, I went to HD because my mother had gone through it, and I was familiar with the process. I was leaning against PD due to the constant threat of infection.
