Extraneal Dialysis
We just started
Peritoneal
dialysis
using the extraneal purple solution for a 12 hour dwell and experiencing diarrhea. Has anyone else experienced diarrhea?

Questions
The time has come when I need to make a decision about whether to go with hemo or
peritoneal
dialysis
. That brings up many questions. If on
peritoneal
dialysis
do you ever get a decent nights sleep or are you constantly awakened with alarms pain etc.

Peritoneal Dialysis
Do we have to bandage out sites for the duration of having it? I did not like the belt so I use the lanyards for my catheter; they are more comfortable.

Fibrin in peritoneal dialysis drain fluid
Hi all! I’m back again with a concern regarding my dad who started PD in July. Recently he is having some fibrin (white chunky strands) in his drain fluid. I did some research on it and it’s associated with elevated fibrinogen in the plasma which is furthermore associated with bad outcomes in all of

Update on beginning home dialysis
Hi everyone, I just wanted to update everyone on what eventually happened with the home
dialysis
. I thank you all for your advice. I began the
peritoneal
dialysis
last week. The nurse was very thorough, patient, and answered all my questions.

Post Transplant psoriatic arthritis treatment
I was very fortunate though to have a living donor come forward to donate and after only 9 months of
Peritoneal
dialysis
, I was transplanted. My kidney has been great the whole time but the immunosuppressants have wreaked havoc on me one way or another.

It's been eight months since I found out I will need a transplant
I am not able to do
peritoneal
dialysis
. After the surgery, it will still be a couple of months before they can even use that spot for dialysis, and it sounds like I'll need it sooner. I'm stressed. I can't find a donor. I can't do PD.

Peritoneal dialysis and high blood pressure
I would really appreciate any feedback from those who are on or have been on PD. My 76 year old dad just started PD this past week. The nephro ordered 1 manual exchange nightly with purple bag (extraneal) but after starting this my dad’s BP has skyrocketed to over 190-210 systolic. His baseline BP before

Feeling isolated & depressed
My 60-year-old husband is in renal failure, on nightly
peritoneal
dialysis
, and on the transplant list. I've been feeling frustrated, anxious and isolated, and that often comes out in anger.

Dialysis / RLS
It's already hard to sleep while doing
Peritoneal
Dialysis
overnight, but adding RLS on top of that was a nightmare. And then it started effecting me during daytime, while driving or sitting down.

Switching to home hemodialysis
I have been on
peritoneal
dialysis
using a cycler, which has been wonderful, for two years. Unfortunately my clearance has been falling over the last four months and treatment increase in the amount of dextrose has caused me to gain nearly 30 lb.

Can surplus/leftover dialysis supplies be donated to others?
Hello everyone, I recently ended
Peritoneal
Dialysis
as I was blessed to receive a transplant just a few weeks ago. I have surplus supplies (solutions, hardware, sterile gauze pads, etc.) that I am hoping I can donate to someone who could use them for their dialysis treatments.

First time on dialysis
Look for his posts if you want to learn about
peritoneal
dialysis
. As I promised, I am going to document my journey as I have done before. Now it is hemodialysis. Holy mackerel. Anyone who thinks this is easy, let them sit in the chair for a turn and see what they think.
