In Center Dialysis

Cons of Treatment● Hospitalizations: In about 4 years of dialysis hospitalized many times:
TAVI
Pacemaker
● Stunning Harms: Brain; Heart; Kidneys; Gut; Skin
● Prisoner of the Chair
● Limited to Small Molecule Removal
● No proven Standards for Bicarbonate Values
● No Alkalosis/Acidosis testing
● Unreliable CO2 blood testing at distant labs
● Travel is difficult
In Center Dialysis
What I Want Staff to Know● We are Clients!
● We want to be EDUCATED not DOCUMENTED
● Lowering machines dialysate ½ degree below Client’s body temperature reduces Stunning
● Ensure clients wash prior and after dialysis
● Inform clients of all meds and dosages prior to insertion and identify blood draw tests
● Vitamin K2 reduces calcification
● Nutrition during dialysis is needed to improve mortality and reduce hospitalizations

In Center Dialysis
What I Want Staff to Know (Cont’d)● Capable clients require in chair exercise PROGRAM (bike, stair stepper) to reduce muscle loss and increase waste removal

Cons of the Treatment:
• Switch centers/nephrologist
• A lot of responsibility – have to do everything yourself
• Not as short a treatment as I thought it would be
• Self cannulation
Home HemodialysisWhat I want Staff to know:
• Some patients do not have a choice on vascular access
• Going home can change the most non compliant patient into a dialysis super star Best dialysis going based on the data and outcomes

• Excellent for patients that want a transplant because you are in better health and for patients that have a hard time with diet/fluid
• When patient feels better it changes the whole family dynamic
• I feel better now than I ever did, including when I had the transplant.
