[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello. The responses thus far have been for hemodialysis. Peritoneal dialysis done at home is another option. My Dad needed emergent hemodialysis, but then had the peritoneal catheter placed. He does his dialysis each night. For him it provides a better quality of life than with the hemodialysis. [/quote] +1 My dad also started with hemodialysis, but switched to peritoneal dialysis. He experienced far fewer side effects, and lived for ten years on peritoneal dialysis.[/quote]
