How will my lifestyle be affected?





On your dialysis days you will need to set aside a total of 6-8 hours for the treatment and travel. Activities are limited during dialysis. You can read, chat, play games, watch TV, write, use a laptop or sleep, but you cannot get up and move around.

On your dialysis days you can carry on with your usual life activities. You can work, attend social functions and carry on your usual role with your family. Intimate relationships can continue. Exercise is encouraged  to promote a healthy heart. It can vary how healthy you fell between dialysis sessions, but most people feel better than before they started dialysis.
