Peritoneal dialysis may be the best option for you if you are looking for a comfortable, convenient treatment option, if your body does not respond well to the rapid changes in fluid levels common with traditional hemodialysis, or if you still have some residual kidney function.
With home hemodialysis, you don’t have to worry about multiple inconvenient trips to a dialysis center every week. Instead, you can receive the same treatment in the comfort of your own home and at a time that works for you. In-clinic treatments can make you feel tired and worn out after several hours of dialysis.
The type of home dialysis you choose will affect how restricted your diet is. With more frequent dialysis treatments, you have a bit more freedom in your eating habits, as your blood gets filtered more often. Your renal dietitian will guide you with a personalized plan of foods to eat and avoid based on your health and type of home dialysis.
A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure for kidney failure patients in which a healthy kidney from another person is placed in your body. This kidney may come from a deceased organ donor or a living donor. It’s important to remember transplant is a treatment, not a cure, for chronic kidney disease.
Going through dialysis treatments brings many changes, from your diet to your schedule. Giving up your lifestyle and the things you enjoy shouldn’t be one of them.
That’s why at Cincinnati Home Dialysis, we provide personalized dialysis care that you can manage in the comfort and convenience of your own home. As a small, local physician-owned facility, we give our full attention to your needs and wellbeing. When you come to our office, you’ll be assisted by the same care providers every time. We want to get to know you, your lifestyle preferences, and your goals to make your dialysis experience as easy as possible.
In-home dialysis offers a level of freedom and control you wouldn’t have with traditional outpatient dialysis. You won’t need to travel to a dialysis clinic several times a week and spend a significant portion of your day there, only to leave feeling worn out and tired. Home dialysis treatments can be scheduled at a time and frequency that’s convenient for you.
