Is it common for people undergoing peritoneal dialysis (pd) to have dizzy spells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not common: While it is common for patients on hemodialysis to get low BP and dizziness during treatments, it really shouldn't happen during pd unless you are removing the fluid too fast. Discuss with your nephrologist.
