See below: Opinions may vary, but most nephrologists agree that home dialysis which includes home hemo dialysis [ where you perform your own dialysis at home ] and peritoneal dialysis [stomach dialysis, blood free dialysis] are better options than incenter hemodialysis where you go for dialysis to a center 3 times a week.

Whichever works 4 u: Sometimes your choices can be limited by finances or availability. The medical studies vary and experts argue over the 'best'. There are pluses and minuses to all the renal replacement therapies: hemodialysis in center, hemodialysis at home, peritoneal dialysis, transplant. My opinion for my patients is the best solution is the one that works the best for you, your health, and your lifestyle.
