I used peritoneal dialysis in 2009 until 2010 and didn't think it was that big of a deal. The story is not quite accurate, besides being hooked up 8 hours a night, you must also do the manual dialysis every 4 hours during the day. At that time RI Hospital did not even have these machines or staff trained to use them, every time I went in the hospital my son had to wheel in the machine and all of the supplies. As far as the costs go, the machine was $22,000 per moth to rent and the supplies equaled about the same amount. I believe that this is still the best option for patients because you get dialysis every day instead of 3 times a week and feel much better. But you need all the facts before making the decision and do what is best for you.
