How long can I be on PD
Attended a class at a local
dialysis
center. They recommend Fresenius PD. How long can you be on PD before it doesn't work anymore? I do not like the idea of having to have the fistula in my arm, so if I can put that off for several years, that would be my first option.

Worried
Not sure what to do or how much longer before I end up on
dialysis
. Not even sure if I really need to avoid potassium at this point. Any advise would be appreciated.

Ideas to Stay Warm During Dialysis
Hi everyone, I'm looking for ideas for ways to stay warm and comfortable during in-center
dialysis
. It's important to leave your face and
dialysis
access uncovered to be safe during treatment. What are some things you do to stay warm during treatment? Electric blankets? Gloves? Special sweaters?

What is going on?
Isn't the idea of a preemptive transplant is to avoid
dialysis
, or am I nuts? I'm 3 gfr points from frank failure and life, as you all probably know, is no bed of roses at this point. Any input appreciated.

COVID-19 and Cystinuria
In the UK the Government [link below] have suggested people with "chronic kidney disease" are at "increased risk" without defining what that means (and covers a whole range of patients from people having no day to day problems, to people on
dialysis
).

Experiences with PD
Hi everyone, I got my catheter fitted at the end of November and started
dialysis
1.5 weeks later. Got rushed into hospital with suspected sepsis and was very poorly so they had to start me on PD.

Healthy New Year’s Checklist for People with Kidney Disease
Activity level check Even if you are on
dialysis
, Dr. Meyer recommends you stay active. “A lot of people say that you shouldn’t work if you are on
dialysis
. I think that’s the wrong advice. The more you get out into the community the better,” says Dr. Meyer.
