CAPD and night sweats
I have been on peritoneal dialysis for nearly two months. While things are going well in general, I am suffering from occasional excessive sweats. I wake up with soaking bedsheets and pillow, soggy hair and general sticky, sweaty body. Can anyone throw light on this condition?

Self care is an inside job. You matter!
How are you looking after you? Happy, happy December. We have arrived into the last month of 2019! Wow. What a year hey. So much growth, feeling and transformation. Have you felt this? We hear a lot about self care. But what does it actually mean on a deeper level outside of the wellness industry trying

Time management skills during dialysis
Hello there, I am in search of better ways to manage my CKD. Doing peritoneal dialysis three time a week at nighttime. How do you keep up with your demands and schedule? What do you find works the best for you while struggling with ESRD? Anyone loves to journal this stage of our lives?

Cycler alarm goes off 4 times a night during drain cycle
My 76 year old husband is new to at home peritoneal dialysis on the cycler every night. Every night, he is awakened by the alarm four times a night when the cycler reaches the drain portion of the treatment. He must shut the alarm, put his feet on the floor and move up and down before the drain cycle

Trying to sort out the facts behind protein intake and CKD
I am in Stage 5 CKD (GFR of 15). For about one year, I have been on the edge of malnutrition (ALB <= 3.4). As a result my nephrologist has been pushing proteitn (1 g/kg body weight per day). In addition, I was told during my dialysis orientation (not on dialysis yet() that when I start peritoneal

The ups and downs of dialysis. Where do I start?
Well on Valentine's Day 2014 I was diagnosed with ESRD. Did peritoneal dialysis at home. Enjoyed the convenience, only had one infection and I'm not downplaying the infection, but it wasn't contracted via not following procedure on my part. I started with a machine and eventually went to hanging

Renal Dialysis Side Affects
I started out on peritoneal dialysis which I could do myself at home every night. Never felt bad and I was able to travel. After my automobile accident I had to switch to renal dialysis. This is my third year dealing with this dialysis. It makes me feel dragged out every time. Sometime I am unable to

Partner of kidney patient looking for support
My partner was diagnosed with kidney failure in June. He began hemodialysis right away and continues to do it three times per week. In October, he had the abdominal catheter added for home peritoneal dialysis and is currently being trained on how to do it. He will likely begin treatment at home next

Renal tariff changes
Hi all those who dialyse at home, this is quite worrying The new renal tariff for 2019 - 2020 has just been published and NHS England is proposing to reduce the funds that are paid to hospitals for home hemodialysis treatment. A reduction in the tariff may result in the change in clinical behaviour,

PD Catheter
Hi, EGFR now dropped to 11, and PD catheter being fitted next week, followed by a Fistula soon after. Any advice on coping with Peritoneal Dialysis would be appreciated. Interested in whether I may feel 'healthier', or whether there is no real change.

Peritoneal Dialysis
My husband and I are training to do PD. He had the permanent catheter implanted and it is working fine. Someone recommended that he should get a fistula in his arm as a backup. Is that usually done?
