Living your best life possible means living a dialysis-friendly lifestyle, which includes:
Your kidney doctor has carefully determined exactly how much dialysis your body needs to be as healthy as possible. Do everything possible to not miss treatment or shorten your treatment time. Every minute counts! If you need help with transportation or some other problem that might prevent you from getting treatment, call your care team immediately.
Make time every day to do something you love. Connect with others and share how you’re feeling. Ask your care team for help when living on dialysis gets difficult.
No matter your physical ability, staying active is essential for a better and longer life. Talk to your kidney doctor about the right exercise plan for you.
Dialysis can fit into your lifestyle. Need to work? Interested in going back to school? Want to plan a special vacation? It’s possible. Get the information and then start planning what’s next!
If you ever feel like you’d like more schedule freedom, more food options, or the opportunity to take fewer medications, home dialysis may be right for you.
