HaemoDialysis is miserable. You feel shit ~5 days out of 7, it's exhausting and depressing and it never gets better. Transplant is infinitely preferable if it

HaemoDialysis is miserable. You feel shit ~5 days out of 7, it's exhausting and depressing and it never gets better. Transplant is infinitely preferable if it's an option.
CAPD is arguably less miserable as a dialysis option but the day to day lifestyle is not exactly ideal
- walshemj 8y agoI have done both and did not get those side effects I only did HD for a few months and did CAPD for a year. PD is better if you can do it at home I manged to commute to London on PD. Note HD is where they filter the blood directly, CAPD /PD is where you pump a saline solution inside you.
