He was going to a dialysis clinic 3 times a week for his treatments. Last week we started the home dialysis training process. As the caregiver I’m really nervous about this, afraid I may be able to do it or may harm my husband during home dialysis.

I am currently on dialysis after my 15 year kidney transplant diminished in function. My BP has been low…below 100 systolic, ….likely due to taking Propafenone & Metatoporal for my AFib. Dialysis also contributes to my low BP. Low consistently is hard on kidney health.
