Visiting a clinic just once or twice a month is far easier than adhering to a rigid three-times-a-week in-center schedule.

Switching From In-Center Hemodialysis to Peritoneal Dialysis

Peritoneal dialysis offers a convenient home therapy option for those who want to spend fewer waking hours on dialysis. Typically done overnight, it doesn’t require a care partner during treatment. Before starting, you’ll need a surgical evaluation and outpatient placement of a peritoneal dialysis catheter. With guidance from your surgeon and nephrologist, treatment can begin immediately or after your catheter site has healed. Once trained, you’ll only need to visit the clinic twice a month—once for a nursing check-up and another for a consultation with your doctor and your Home Dialysis Therapies team.

Tired of dealing with access issues, cramps, low blood pressure, or the inconvenience of spending hours with in-center treatments three times a week? Peritoneal dialysis may be the right choice for you! Contact us to schedule a personalized dialysis options class and discover the treatment that best fits your lifestyle and family’s needs.

Switching From In-Center Hemodialysis to Home Hemodialysis

Home hemodialysis offers a convenient and comfortable option for managing your treatment. With the support of a care partner, you can perform hemodialysis in your own home, following comprehensive training for both you and your care partner. After training, you’ll only need to visit the clinic twice a month—once for a nursing check-up and another for a consultation with your MD and the HDT team.

Consistent needle placement by you or your care partner can help extend the life of your graft or fistula. Many patients also report feeling better with more frequent, slower-paced home hemodialysis compared to in-center treatments.
