I have been depressed and felt I received a death sentence when I was told I'm about 4 months away from needing kidney dialysis. I found this video and watched it 3 times and I feel so much better about my diagnosis and my decision of PD. Thank you so much for explaining in such detail!
I use this video to give to patients who have questions about dialysis options or who suddenly find themselves requiring dialysis. It is a superb synopsis.
Thank you for this enlightening explanation of dialysis! My hubby was put on dialysis without my knowledge last and I am very upset about it. It was started last week and I have not seen him because of pandemic and hospital restrictions. I feel I should have been notified so I could talk to him and asked questions of the doctor(s). My dad and his mom went through dialysis for the last years of their lives and it was always heartbreaking to see how much pain and struggle they went through. This video tells me these doctors rushed into it. He has been in and out of hospital since 2019 for CHF, but his kidneys were never a problem so I've even more concerned. Prayers for everyone who has to get this one or has a family member who going through it or needs it.

@@princesshelenagwendolyn7189 Bear in mind that Kidney Stones is one of the signs and symptons of a Chronic Kidney Disease. We are talking about Chronic Kidney Failure. Kidney Stones is of course treatable, and if you don't, you will end up to a more serious condition. This is why people should eat more veggies and less processed food which is full of salt/sodium and other chemicals.
My nephrologist is suggesting getting set up with both a fistula and catheter, even though I only want to do PD. He said that it's common practice. What do you think?
What an amazing video.. there is so much garbage on TH-cam that your presentation is a breath of fresh air. I have been with my Nephrologist today, and our discussion was almost word for word what's in your video. Well done & thank you John (Wales UK)
This is a great video! I worked as a Hemodialysis LVN for a couple years and I learned so much! It was tough on the patients and the staff, be thankful for your health ❤️
WOW! I'm a caregiver and it truly gives me hope and information on the the differences and more comfort around my friend getting the PD. Thank you so much for this video!
I just read the whole chapter based on this and I had a decent grasp of it all, but watching this video just cleared it up for me 10x better!! The amount of work it must've taken to make this goes unnoticed! Thank you (:
After watching 3 different videos suggested by our doctor, this one was by far the best. Not intimidating and very informative. We are facing a difficult decision helping our mom and this was very helpful as a starting point. Thank you.
Thank you so much! My mom had started to feel these symptoms for almost a year and the medications didn't work so her doctor sent her to another kidney specialist to consult about getting dialysis treatment. This video made me understand and prepared me for our meeting tomorrow. I also LOVE the awesome illustrations. Much, much appreciated!!!
Great video for visual and audio learners. Im a nursing student and wanted to see the basic of difference. This was much better than the power point hand outs. Thank you!!
Very informative video. My GFR is at 22 and declining. It is really hard to maintain a daily routine due to the increased weight and the blood pressure, not to mention the medication.
One of the best explanation on kidney problems I've ever seen on TH-cam. I wish I had these drawing skill, in my channel I use graph and charts to explain kidney disease and CKD but these drawings look a lot cuter.
I'm a student using this for studying, really great video! Very informative and simple! I expect this will really help people who need to chose treatment options to choose. Thank you for providing this great content.
Its kinda hard to do home dialysis when you're on well water and have 3 dogs. My mother started hemodialysis and she's doing good. Despite the hours, there's a difference in doing it at home and doing it in the clinic. Doing it a home has an extreme risk that this doesn't tell you about, an infection in the stomach lining that can cause the injection site to become crusted and you will need to go onto hemodialysis.
When I visited my nephrologist and he saw that I was bloated because of the water retention, he called an ambulance and I was in the hospital and got dialyzed by the time it was 10 PM. Several months later, I got my graft and a couple of months ago, I celebrated my one year dialysis anniversary. Dialysis is not fun, and if I would have known I would be in this predicament, I would have done a lot more to be healthy.
Thank you Dr. Evans! As a medical professional it is more difficult when it is your love ones. Thank you for explaining such important information that will effect our family. Bless you and your practice
this was so helpful & easy to understand. Am on dialysis myself at the moment and i just learned so much about home dialysis which is the choice im going to look into now thank you!

I just can't imagine what lot of patience u have to actually draw all those illustrations and texts. Fantastic work!! truly and the explanation was 10 on 10. I keep thinking of making so many videos to help people out there, but I'm just so lazy abt it, which is what is making me think so much abt the effort that has gone behind this video. Thanks for the lovely video
Excellent Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Bonackson Wandalyn Genie (search on google)? It is a smashing one off guide for avoiding dialysis and improve kidney health without the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my best friend Jordan at last got cool results with it.
6:42 mark - the reason why candidates who already had peritoneal surgeries cannot get peritoneal dialysis is the biggest risk - a risk of infection called peritonitis, which, in severe cases, can be life-threatening. And when doing peritoneal dialysis at home, you need to practice sterile techniques during it, or you also end up risking being very sick from peritonitis infection.
I've been on hemodyalysis for 6 years. I guess I'm luckier than most that are since I just do 2 days a week for 3.5 hr. sessions. But I also did a year of PD after losing kidney function from a nasty sepsis hospitalization that nearly killed me. I got off PD because my numbers improved considerably. But after 3 years off my kidneys again were worsening. I chose the clinical approach when I was told I needed dialysis again because PD was no picnic. There's a boat load of boxes with the heavy fluid bags that you need to store in your home ( probably a closet in the bedroom near the machine like I did ) ; there's a tube that sticks out your belly; there's the nightly setup with 2 heavy fluid bags; 20 feet of tubes coming in to your body and 20 more going out to a drain bag that needs to be somewhere with a drain; you can feel the pressure of the fluid filling your cavity, which can cause sleep problems; then the morning chore of gathering all the bags and reams of cording , draining the waste bag and and disposing of all that plastic waste that takes up plenty of trash space ( all that good cord trashed every day really bugged me ), not to mention all those good boxes it all comes in you have to break down for recycling. Nope, not a picnic, and why I chose letting the clinic do the work and waste removal when I sadly had to go back on dialysis.
@ how could they know the cause? ... I think it was a holdover from a bad infection I'd had a couple months before and thought was treated, and was the result of dental work with improperly sterilized tools
i´ve been in hemodyalisis and lost my vascuar acceses, and chamged to PD. I am so happy to have my life again. I eat what i want and drink what i want and feel great, no low pressure again and no weakness post HD. PD is the better choice and better if you have a Cyclator.
Well presented, high-level overview. Pictures are a good way to visualize the information. Obviously my path would depend on a frank discussion with my Nephrologist, along with a timeline. Thank-you Dr Bob! Your explanation seems clear enough.
Thank you for this video. It's very hard to choose. I already did four in a half years of hemo. I got a kidney transplant and I'm slowly but surely loosing it. I don't think I can't go more years of hemo dialysis.
Thank you. I've just been told that I'll need dialysis in a few months time. I probably won't be suitable for PD (I've had extensive abdominal surgery), but (I'm in Britain) I, hopefully, should be able to do HD at home. If not, I'm fortunate enough to live within walking distance of the hospital. I found this video very reassuring. ☺
He passed away on November 29, 2023. He was 33. He was my only child. He got some of the worst treatment every! I will never be the same without my son😢
The explanation was so easy to understand because of Doctor Mike's calm and informative tone, plus the great illustrations like I was just reviewing for an exam tomorrow. Thank you so much for this video! I learned a lot, Doc! May God bless you more and your staff. Stay safe!
Over simplified. Doesn't say one has to be 5 years cancer free to go on the transplant list . Doesn't say immune suppressants will vastly limit every aspect of your life post transplant, if you made it through all of the hoops. Doesn't say how to hook up home hemodialysis to your plumbing, and then it's only going to keep you at ??? GFR equivalent.. low, very low.
Thanks for the excellent video. My son has Alport syndrome and started with PD a couple of weeks ago. Next step is transplant and we're still in the pre-transplant stage. Things are moving very slow but that gives us the opportunity to self-study and this video helps immensely with that. Thanks again. Be well and be safe.
Listean to me there is no scientific cure for kidney deases.if you believe in herbs from Dr emuakhe you will not go for a transplant.becouse same bacterias are there for me ew kidney and later the transplant will also have problem.treat yourself naturally with herbs from Dr emuakhe for a complete eradication of bacterias for you to gain yourself.not transplant or dialysis.you don't need dialysis.his herbs will kill and floushed aut the bacterias completely
Thanks for the overview... Minimal experience with kidney failure but as a new nurse aide, knowledge like this is important for how to provide better care for those enduring the process of kidney failuire... but not taught to new aides in the area I'm from.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!! This video is by far the most helpful. My doctor told me i'll be needing dialysis and i'm so scared but this has put my mind at ease somewhat. Still scared.
@@pragawa i want to let you know what has happened since. I did P.D.and followed my diet and meds. One year after i went on i had a surprize. My wife was a match and on Christmas morning i was told the news that i will get a transplant. It's been 6 months and all is well. I will pray for you and your husband. It can be very scary but he has you to lift him up, be there. I will pray for your strength as well. Good luck.
really?? and does that little machine really able to remove excess fluid from the body?? although i don't know if you're helping yourself as much as possible though
Still one of the best videos on the topic of ESRD. By the way, if you're here because you're worried about going on dialysis, I want to give you a bit of hope: there are other, probably better options other dialysis and a transplant. Actually, this is what my TH-cam channel is all about. In particular, there have been recent developments in curing kidney disease that I feel kidney patients should be aware of. So keep getting informed people!

It is a great exclusive product for improving kidney function without the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate got amazing success with it.
A lot of what was said about Home Hemo is not entirely true in this video. I did PD and it was horrible for my body. I developed 3 hernias, gained 30 pounds due to the dextrose and my menses was the heaviest. Not to mention the drain pain. I couldn’t sleep until treatment was over. On Home Hemo I do sit comfortably in my recliner at home for 3 hours. I travel with no problems. NxStage delivers to any hotel or B&B within the continental US. Ive been doing HH for 5 years.
This video was so helpful. There are alot of things that I didn't know. I didn't know the symptoms of end stage. I will soon be starting the Peritoneal Dialysis and have been very scared of the whole situation. I'm a little more at ease now. Thank you! ❤️
I'm about to start it shortly myself..i only just found out just after Christmas that I had kidney disease and spent 2 months of the new year in hospital..this video explains alot and I look forward to PD..hope yours has worked out for you also
Wow... the art work is amazing! Great info and so visual in ways your brain can process it both with the visual and the audio and said in terms that the normal layman can fully understand, with some cute and humorous little additions in the drawings to make this whole process less scary. Congratulations to the talented artist and the narrator. (not sure if they were the same person or not)

I wish i had seen this about 7 years ago.. I had no idea i had kidney problems but took a BP med that had a diuretic later found out i was alergic to that knocked my kidneys to 4% function I also have adult onset diabetes and the annual labs is when i found out i had problems.. was supposed to take 16 mg Micronsase for glucose control but in checking my blood sugars they were running low so i had backed down on the pills to actualy 1 mg per day and blood sugar was in the 50s after eating ice cream.. so thought i was honeymooning for a third time on diabetes when i went in for the labs my doc had told me to come in NPO i knew it would be hard to do but did it drove to the clinic parked in the lines but knew my mind was slow and that i was staggery so i told the techs as i enterd NO i am Not drunk my blood sugar is low they checked it was 38 did the blood test and they gave me orange juice to bring the sugar back up before i drove back to work got a drive thru meal on the way back to work worked till noon and kidney doc called me and said " we dont like your Numbers Please go to the ER and have them re run the tests I did an inern came in and put me thru a phsycal like id never had before in my life from one end to the other.. even prostate exam.. he was quite thruorgh.. as he finished the Neprotologist waked in and said i hear you have some problems and i told him that unless this is essencial to my life i am paying out of pocket for health care he repeated if i were in your place id have a needle biopsoy done and then he left the orderly came back in after about 10 min and said My ROOM would be ready in a few min.. (of course i didnt know how out of it i was a the time thought i was totaly ther so was shocked) by the end of the week i had the biopsy found out about 4% kidneyfunction had a tunnel cath installed and had gone though dialysis 5 seperate treatments this was Oct 2009 it took about a month for me to really understand what was going on and in the past almost 6 years i have missed maybe 2 treatments 4 hours 3 days a week.. and still work self employed as i have for the past 37 years the first 31 full time now part time.. and am fairly healthy for a 60 year old.. outside of diabetic as well as dialysis diet..

That was a great video and very clear , I hope it helps everyone out there going through this, make the right decision on your treatment. You can get your self on the transplant list way before you start Dialysis so if you can have a transplant get on it. Keep well everyone going through this and to the family members who are supporting you x
My dad did it for 2 years in the hospital then 3 years at home. He was 68 when he started and 73 when he passed in 99...Now we are facing this all again with Mom. She is 83 and says she doesnt want any of it. My heart is breaking, but I have to respect her decision. I just needed to see this tonight. Thank you for this video.
My girlfriend asked me to research the dialysis options because she will have to do the procedure soon and is not sure what options is best for her. This video explains very clearly how it works and the pros and cons of the various options. I think the APD option seems the best, especially that it allows to travel..

I got a bad stone working it's way down right now, this video helped alleviate my mental panic and over analyzing, I'll be fine, taking another Tylenol and playing Xbox, I should make sure my family are compatible donors tho!! Never know which will need what!
I have to make this choice soon. A friend told me if I go with Peritoneal dialysis than I better have a spare room for storage because all those boxes of solution add up in a hurry. How are they sent to your home - per week, per month? How big are the boxes? How many units per box? And you do four bags per night? This sounds too impractical to do.
Hi! This was fantastic. I work in a unit dedicated to teaching different modality options. Is there any way I can order a disc to play on a laptop for our patients?
Just see what I m hearing and sorry about that.wgat whom your donated for ,haw is the person.lord have mercy.i survived my kidney deases with herbs from Dr emuakhe for weeks. My good and healthy

Hey there same here. On March I was diagnosed with esrd. I am also training now with PD. I am very excited. I wish you the best.
It's not the end and you will not die unless you want to which mean not going to your treatments and fluids overloading.

CHF overtime can unfortunately lead to kidney damage due to prolong ischemia of the blood not being properly perfused to the kidneys.

I'm a nursing student and needed clarification for my exam. Thank you this was very helpful!
Thank you, Dr. Mike. This was a well put together and informative video. Helpful and easy to understand.
I've been on hemodyalysis for 6 years. I guess I'm luckier than most that are since I just do 2 days a week for 3.5 hr. sessions. But I also did a year of PD after losing kidney function from a nasty sepsis hospitalization that nearly killed me. I got off PD because my numbers improved considerably. But after 3 years off my kidneys again were worsening. I chose the clinical approach when I was told I needed dialysis again because PD was no picnic. There's a boat load of boxes with the heavy fluid bags that you need to store in your home ( probably a closet in the bedroom near the machine like I did ) ; there's a tube that sticks out your belly; there's the nightly setup with 2 heavy fluid bags; 20 feet of tubes coming in to your body and 20 more going out to a drain bag that needs to be somewhere with a drain; you can feel the pressure of the fluid filling your cavity, which can cause sleep problems; then the morning chore of gathering all the bags and reams of cording , draining the waste bag and and disposing of all that plastic waste that takes up plenty of trash space ( all that good cord trashed every day really bugged me ), not to mention all those good boxes it all comes in you have to break down for recycling. Nope, not a picnic, and why I chose letting the clinic do the work and waste removal when I sadly had to go back on dialysis.
Thanks for your insight!
Did they tell you how you got sepsis
@ how could they know the cause? ... I think it was a holdover from a bad infection I'd had a couple months before and thought was treated, and was the result of dental work with improperly sterilized tools
QUESTION : Hemodiafiltration(HDF) is not better than hemodialysis and home dialysis ??. Any answer ??
i´ve been in hemodyalisis and lost my vascuar acceses, and chamged to PD. I am so happy to have my life again. I eat what i want and drink what i want and feel great, no low pressure again and no weakness post HD. PD is the better choice and better if you have a Cyclator.
you are a reliable teacher for us eager to learn, thanks Chris
Well presented, high-level overview. Pictures are a good way to visualize the information. Obviously my path would depend on a frank discussion with my Nephrologist, along with a timeline. Thank-you Dr Bob! Your explanation seems clear enough.
i was distracted by how good white board drawings can be, must rewatch
Thank you for this video. It's very hard to choose. I already did four in a half years of hemo. I got a kidney transplant and I'm slowly but surely loosing it. I don't think I can't go more years of hemo dialysis.
How are you now?
Thank you. I've just been told that I'll need dialysis in a few months time. I probably won't be suitable for PD (I've had extensive abdominal surgery), but (I'm in Britain) I, hopefully, should be able to do HD at home. If not, I'm fortunate enough to live within walking distance of the hospital. I found this video very reassuring. ☺
I’m a 23 years old female just started hemodialysis since 10 august 2021, i hope i can get my kidney transplant soon and we match. Pray for me 🙏
Are u still a live? Did u get kidney 😢?
I'm a few years away (hopefully) from dialysis and am currently weighing my future options. This was a fantastic video.
My son is in renal failure now and this is a very helpful video
Im in hospital now while he is finally sleeping well....I'm terrified...😑
How is he now ?
He passed away on November 29, 2023. He was 33. He was my only child. He got some of the worst treatment every! I will never be the same without my son😢
The explanation was so easy to understand because of Doctor Mike's calm and informative tone, plus the great illustrations like I was just reviewing for an exam tomorrow. Thank you so much for this video! I learned a lot, Doc! May God bless you more and your staff. Stay safe!
Over simplified. Doesn't say one has to be 5 years cancer free to go on the transplant list . Doesn't say immune suppressants will vastly limit every aspect of your life post transplant, if you made it through all of the hoops. Doesn't say how to hook up home hemodialysis to your plumbing, and then it's only going to keep you at ??? GFR equivalent.. low, very low.
Thanks for the excellent video. My son has Alport syndrome and started with PD a couple of weeks ago. Next step is transplant and we're still in the pre-transplant stage. Things are moving very slow but that gives us the opportunity to self-study and this video helps immensely with that. Thanks again. Be well and be safe.
Listean to me there is no scientific cure for kidney deases.if you believe in herbs from Dr emuakhe you will not go for a transplant.becouse same bacterias are there for me ew kidney and later the transplant will also have problem.treat yourself naturally with herbs from Dr emuakhe for a complete eradication of bacterias for you to gain yourself.not transplant or dialysis.you don't need dialysis.his herbs will kill and floushed aut the bacterias completely
Hi, may I asked, i will be glad if you could help. Could Current HD patient change dialysis method to PD?
Thanks for the overview... Minimal experience with kidney failure but as a new nurse aide, knowledge like this is important for how to provide better care for those enduring the process of kidney failuire... but not taught to new aides in the area I'm from.
Excellent depiction of both modalities for assisting patients made decisions which treatment is best for them.
I learn more with these videos than with books . I'm very visual person
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!! This video is by far the most helpful. My doctor told me i'll be needing dialysis and i'm so scared but this has put my mind at ease somewhat. Still scared.
Hello, Charlie.
Greetings from India.
How are you doing? Are you on dialysis?
My husband will have to start his, too, and like you, he's scared.
@@pragawa i want to let you know what has happened since. I did P.D.and followed my diet and meds. One year after i went on i had a surprize. My wife was a match and on Christmas morning i was told the news that i will get a transplant. It's been 6 months and all is well. I will pray for you and your husband. It can be very scary but he has you to lift him up, be there. I will pray for your strength as well. Good luck.
I was suffering from similar issue in the past,but I'm glad it has been fixed..
Love this & the drawings! Very helpful for me as a nursing student :D Thank you.
I love peritoneal dialysis ......no diet and fluid restriction .....amazing ...
really?? and does that little machine really able to remove excess fluid from the body?? although i don't know if you're helping yourself as much as possible though
@@fallback8314 you are right ......PD works only 8 months after that not able to remove toxins
@@version3.042 i'm guessing. is that true? only 8 months?
@@version3.042 Are you sure here ? As I know someone who's been on PD for almost 10+ years now. Kindly respond
Still one of the best videos on the topic of ESRD. By the way, if you're here because you're worried about going on dialysis, I want to give you a bit of hope: there are other, probably better options other dialysis and a transplant. Actually, this is what my TH-cam channel is all about. In particular, there have been recent developments in curing kidney disease that I feel kidney patients should be aware of. So keep getting informed people!
Katherine your channel is the best!
Nice video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard about - Trentvorty Perfection Kidney Theorem (probably on Google)? It is a smashing one off product for improving kidney function minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my best friend Jordan got amazing results with it.
Nice Video! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Tarbbatigan Charter Access Tip (probably on Google)? It is a good one of a kind guide for learning the secret to reversing your kidney disease minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend finally got excellent success with it.
Lovely Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Trentvorty Perfection Kidney Theorem (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great exclusive product for improving kidney function without the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate got amazing success with it.
A lot of what was said about Home Hemo is not entirely true in this video. I did PD and it was horrible for my body. I developed 3 hernias, gained 30 pounds due to the dextrose and my menses was the heaviest. Not to mention the drain pain. I couldn’t sleep until treatment was over. On Home Hemo I do sit comfortably in my recliner at home for 3 hours. I travel with no problems. NxStage delivers to any hotel or B&B within the continental US. Ive been doing HH for 5 years.
Incredible information and amazing illustrations. Thank you for creating this video!
This video was so helpful. There are alot of things that I didn't know. I didn't know the symptoms of end stage. I will soon be starting the Peritoneal Dialysis and have been very scared of the whole situation. I'm a little more at ease now. Thank you! ❤️
I'm about to start it shortly myself..i only just found out just after Christmas that I had kidney disease and spent 2 months of the new year in hospital..this video explains alot and I look forward to PD..hope yours has worked out for you also
@Brandi- How are you doing now? Kindly respond 🙂
@@MrMiike83 how are you doing now?
Wow... the art work is amazing! Great info and so visual in ways your brain can process it both with the visual and the audio and said in terms that the normal layman can fully understand, with some cute and humorous little additions in the drawings to make this whole process less scary. Congratulations to the talented artist and the narrator. (not sure if they were the same person or not)
I was suffering from similar issue in the past,but I'm glad it has been fixed
My 18 month old son has one kidney, and one kidney with reduced function, this video cleared a lot of questions for us. Thank you so much :)
What happened to the second kidney? herbs from Dr emuakhe survived me from kidney deases
@@dianaferreira4089 he was born with only one. He’s 10 in august! Time flys! He’s had 10 ops over the years but it’s kept him healthy and safe so touch wood all good up to now 🙏
@@Aartwood if he is not having issues no problem.
im a nurse ,can we use this video sir to educate ESDR patients to our hospital?
Excellent video Mike; really excellent. Will get our education staff onto it asap. Keep up the good work sir.
th-cam.com/video/00cfyvzjYZ0/w-d-xo.html
What an exceptional educational video. Thank you. Very well done.
Excellent! Thank you so munch for sharing this! I ll start dialysis soon and I am digesting this new chapter of my life!
This is the best video so far on internet. Thanks a lot sir
Getting ready to swiitch over from hemo to PD. My center didn't offer PD until recently. Can't wait to get started.
i really love the art style on this channel. very helpful.
I wish i had seen this about 7 years ago.. I had no idea i had kidney problems but took a BP med that had a diuretic later found out i was alergic to that knocked my kidneys to 4% function I also have adult onset diabetes and the annual labs is when i found out i had problems.. was supposed to take 16 mg Micronsase for glucose control but in checking my blood sugars they were running low so i had backed down on the pills to actualy 1 mg per day and blood sugar was in the 50s after eating ice cream.. so thought i was honeymooning for a third time on diabetes when i went in for the labs my doc had told me to come in NPO i knew it would be hard to do but did it drove to the clinic parked in the lines but knew my mind was slow and that i was staggery so i told the techs as i enterd NO i am Not drunk my blood sugar is low they checked it was 38 did the blood test and they gave me orange juice to bring the sugar back up before i drove back to work got a drive thru meal on the way back to work worked till noon and kidney doc called me and said " we dont like your Numbers Please go to the ER and have them re run the tests I did an inern came in and put me thru a phsycal like id never had before in my life from one end to the other.. even prostate exam.. he was quite thruorgh.. as he finished the Neprotologist waked in and said i hear you have some problems and i told him that unless this is essencial to my life i am paying out of pocket for health care he repeated if i were in your place id have a needle biopsoy done and then he left the orderly came back in after about 10 min and said My ROOM would be ready in a few min.. (of course i didnt know how out of it i was a the time thought i was totaly ther so was shocked) by the end of the week i had the biopsy found out about 4% kidneyfunction had a tunnel cath installed and had gone though dialysis 5 seperate treatments this was Oct 2009 it took about a month for me to really understand what was going on and in the past almost 6 years i have missed maybe 2 treatments 4 hours 3 days a week.. and still work self employed as i have for the past 37 years the first 31 full time now part time.. and am fairly healthy for a 60 year old.. outside of diabetic as well as dialysis diet..
has dialysis hindered your life?
This is such a fantastic educational video. Thank you so very much. I learned so much.

i am required to watch this video for a class. The drawing makes the video so much lively and entertaining...
It is funny how the PD image at 9:23 shows it as PD yet has it to the arm which is HD.
That was a great video and very clear , I hope it helps everyone out there going through this, make the right decision on your treatment. You can get your self on the transplant list way before you start Dialysis so if you can have a transplant get on it. Keep well everyone going through this and to the family members who are supporting you x
You dont need dialysis or transplant,herbal supplements from Dr emuakhe from Africa cleanse your kidney internally for weeks,I was a victim
Thank you..my wife just had 3rd session in hospital today as an inpatient..this is very informative and very stress relieving.
Thank you for this very helpful video, hits all the good points and an overview for the healthcare field.
Great resource for our HSC biology unit on kidney disease. Thank you
Thanks for this, my father going in tomorrow morning for Fistula surgery.
Thank you. This answered so many of my questions.
Thank you so much for all of your help on this topic .
My dad did it for 2 years in the hospital then 3 years at home. He was 68 when he started and 73 when he passed in 99...Now we are facing this all again with Mom. She is 83 and says she doesnt want any of it. My heart is breaking, but I have to respect her decision. I just needed to see this tonight. Thank you for this video.
Hang in there. My ex was just diagnosed with kidney failure today. wish you n your mom the best.
My girlfriend asked me to research the dialysis options because she will have to do the procedure soon and is not sure what options is best for her. This video explains very clearly how it works and the pros and cons of the various options. I think the APD option seems the best, especially that it allows to travel..
It was herbs from Dr emuakhe that survived me completely from kidney deases.
@@dianaferreira4089 Wow incredible! Dr emuakhe deserves to get the Nobel prize in medicine for this incredible achievement! And the world needs to know about these herbs asap instead of wasting billions in research and train surgeons for years to do these life changing surgeries when all we need is herbs from doc emuakhe!
@@juleslondon good talk. But Dr emuakhe will never come aut publicly to be killed like they killed Dr SEBI.his death is a leason to other strong men.but who ever need his herbs can always contact him through his TH-cam channel
I really, really love your style of teaching!
Looking at this video as I’m contemplating dialysis. Thank you for this informative video.
Is it possible to switch from HD to PD due to fistula issues that frequently complicate the ability to receive HD treatments?

I do field service support on just the Hemodialysis equipment portion for a living. I really enjoyed this video, than you once again for making it.
Thank you thank you 😊 your explanation is very comprehensive
I got a bad stone working it's way down right now, this video helped alleviate my mental panic and over analyzing, I'll be fine, taking another Tylenol and playing Xbox, I should make sure my family are compatible donors tho!! Never know which will need what!
I have to make this choice soon. A friend told me if I go with Peritoneal dialysis than I better have a spare room for storage because all those boxes of solution add up in a hurry. How are they sent to your home - per week, per month? How big are the boxes? How many units per box? And you do four bags per night? This sounds too impractical to do.
Eugene Czyzewski Talk to your kidney team about anything that concerns you. They are there for you. With love and healing blessings.
Wow, what a great presentation. I hope all my teaching is as clear and well thought out.
Hi! This was fantastic. I work in a unit dedicated to teaching different modality options. Is there any way I can order a disc to play on a laptop for our patients?
