Living Life with Dialysis
Understanding In-Center Dialysis
If home dialysis isn't the right option for you, you can get treatment in a center. In this video, you'll learn how in-center dialysis is done and what to expect from your treatment.
Key takeaways:
- During in-center dialysis, your blood leaves your body via an access site, then is cleaned and returned to your body.
- Sessions are generally done three times a week for about four hours each.
- Dialysis treatments are monitored by nurses and technicians who support your care.
- Sticking to your dialysis schedule helps you feel your best between treatments and reduces your risk of hospitalization.
- Treatment choices can change over time, and many people explore home dialysis for a schedule that fits their daily life.
