It is typically done for those who live a much more active life since treatment can be done at home, work , or while traveling.]]> 2018-12-02 01:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahnburr27/arhpzky4wzpz/wish/310116335 sarahnburr27 https://padlet.com/sarahnburr27/arhpzky4wzpz/wish/310116493 The benefits of peritoneal dialysis compared with hemodialysis can include:
    • Greater lifestyle flexibility and independence. These can be especially important if you work, travel or live far from a hemodialysis center.
    • More flexible dietary guidelines. Peritoneal dialysis is done more continuously than hemodialysis, resulting in less accumulation of potassium, sodium and fluid.
    • More stable blood chemistry and body hydration. Peritoneal dialysis doesn't require intravenous (IV) access, which can disrupt your circulation and fluid levels.
    • Longer lasting residual kidney function. People who use peritoneal dialysis might retain kidney function slightly longer than people who use hemodialysis.
