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

Dialysis or Transplant?
I am in my early 40s and recently started dialysis (PD). Been trying to get potential donors and my parents volunteered to be evaluated as donors. My parents are 70 years old.

Great Transplant Hosp Video
This Living Donor video was brought to my attention at my recent two-year evaluation (second one) at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, GA. It is very informative and is designed to share with family, friends, etc., to learn about kidney disease, dialysis and live donation. I shared it on my Facebook page

Preparing for dialysis, scared and confused
Hi, 49 y.o. female. To give a little background on me, I was working in 2008 when I was found to have protein in my urine. Scared and stupid I didn't go back to the nephrologist. Stopped working in 2010, complicated reasons. From 2010 to 2018 health was declining, I kept putting off going to the doctor

Surviving Dialysis
Don't mean to scare anyone. But I saw this statistics on a website and wonder what are some reasons that people die from dialysis and more importantly, how to prevent those cases? "After one year of treatment, those on dialysis have a
20-25%
mortality rate, with a 5-year survival rate of 35%.
