In-center dialysis RN here. There seems to be a push for home/peritoneal dialysis here in the US by the gov’t so all our patients are given these options and educational materials as well. As someone who did all 3 (in-center, home and peritoneal), what would you say are the advantages of one over the others? I know fear of being alone (with no nurses or technicians around) and infections are the most common reasons why our patients are hesitant to try other alternatives.
