Starting peritoneal dialysis can feel overwhelming. There are new routines, unfamiliar equipment, and plenty of questions. I created The Home Dialysis Handbook to make home dialysis information easier to understand and easier to use.
Written from the perspective of someone who has lived on peritoneal dialysis for five years, this practical guide explains common home-dialysis supplies, routines, terminology, and everyday challenges in plain language.
It is useful for:
New PD patients
Experienced home-dialysis patients
Family members and caregivers
Dialysis nurses and educators
Anyone supporting a person on home dialysis
Keep it nearby as a quick reference during training, travel, or your daily routine. It is designed to help you feel more prepared and less alone as you adjust to life with dialysis.
The Home Dialysis Handbook is an educational resource and does not replace instructions from your nephrologist, dialysis nurse, or care team.
