Parents, learn as much as possible about ESRD. Then learn about the real Science of the body, foods, and a little chemistry. So when your child gets older, you can teach them everything! ...though they are never so young to start learning about it, especially if they have to live with it! But remember, if you aren't also living a healthy lifestyle, you can't expect them to follow your lead!

Dialysis can be very easy to deal with. It just comes down to what foods and fluids go into the body, ..will result to how the patient ends up feeling. Learn these key factors, and the rest is downhill!
