Enjoy Life with Dialysis
Living with chronic kidney disease doesn’t mean the end of a good life. With the right mindset and support, you can continue to live with hope, strength, and positivity.
Family and Friends Are Part of Your Journey
Your family and friends play an important role in your care. Be open with them about your feelings and needs so they can understand and support you better. Remember, kidney disease affects not only you — it also touches the lives of those who care about you.
Share Your Feelings
Don’t keep your emotions to yourself.
Expressing your thoughts openly and kindly helps strengthen your relationships and allows your loved ones to adjust and grow with you.
You’re not alone — sharing makes the journey easier.
Live with Balance
With time, life will begin to feel normal again, and dialysis will simply become part of your daily routine.
Keep focusing on what truly matters: living a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life.
Managing your emotions
It is common for people living with kidney disease to experience changes in mood.
Recognizing that this is a normal part of the journey can provide reassurance, support adherence to your treatment plan, and help maintain meaningful relationships.
Remember, you are not alone — your dialysis care team is always available to offer guidance and support whenever needed.

With peritoneal dialysis, traveling is possible. We would like to address some important points about choosing your vacation destination:
- High hygienic standards at the vacation destination to reduce the risk of infections and complications.
- Quick access to quality medical care: In the event of a complication, it is important that you receive high-quality care fast. Inform yourself in advance to make sure that good quality medical care is nearby.
- Perform treatments in a clean and bright room and perform your dialysis as carefully as at home.
- Know your vacation spot(s): Other dialysis patients have already been on vacation – exchange ideas with them to benefit from others’ experiences.
Despite these options, you should always carry a three-day supply with you to be prepared for unforeseen situations. For air travel, this should be carried in your hand luggage.
Therapy for a new life
Peritoneal Dialysis
Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is a patient-centric therapy. Patient-centric approaches have been shown to empower patients, enhance their well-being, improve the quality of care, and add to health systems’ sustainability. Home PD uses blood vessels lining the abdomen — the peritoneum — to naturally filter blood.

Why home dialysis might help?
For many patients, the transition to dialysis is life-changing and takes significant lifestyle adjustments. One way to ease the transition is to bring dialysis into a patient’s home, allowing them to dialyze where they’re comfortable, on a schedule that works for them.
Home Dialysis Training
Most training takes place in a dialysis center with highly trained professionals. Patients are given the tools and resources necessary to confidently perform home dialysis before they graduate training. Additionally, trained healthcare professionals are available round the clock to support Fresenius Medical Care patients by answering questions. Our goal is to ensure all home dialysis patients feel comfortable and secure while dialyzing.
Home peritoneal dialysis allows patients to manage their treatment safely and comfortably at home with the right training and support.

Your questions answered
Can I travel while on peritoneal dialysis?

Most patients are able to perform dialysis on their own. However, in some cases, a family member or caregiver may provide simple support — as guided by your healthcare team.
How do I organize my home dialysis schedule?
