Maximize dialysis!: Pregnancy outcomes are improved when women get more dialysis. Remember that normal kidneys are working 24 hours a day - not just for three in-center treatments per week. If you are a candidate for home hemodialysis, you may have more flexibility to have more treatments, and even exteded overnight treatments which can be easier to manage.
