Dialysis isn t great but it spared me long enough until i could find a donor and get my new kidney. I wish you the best. I was lucky as i knew i did not want dialysis.
I had my transplant 5 months ago.
I also worked with a dietician. Dialysis can perform about 10 to 15 of the work of a healthy kidney. People who get transplants generally live longer than those who get dialysis. No dairy or meat.
