[|Human|] I was just told I need dialysis. Which would you advise,hemodialysis or peritoneal. I ve been going thur all the info I can find on the web, and I still can t decide. Although I am leaning towards peritoneal,because it s benefits seem healthier. Thank you!
[|AI|]  HiT hanks for your query. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis have similar short term and long term outcomes. Each technique has its benefits and Chat Doctor. Often the decision to use a particular therapy is guided by patients' lifestyle preferences. A nephrologist has to determine if you are eligible for PD or HD. If you prefer to do your own therapy without having to go to the hospital, then PD is preferred. Ultimately, if there is no contraindication then the most preferred treatment is to get a kidney transplant. Hope this helps Good luck
