I Must start dialysis, how will it affect my daily life?

However, proper organization and adaptation to this treatment allows many patients to continue leading a normal life with only a few limitations.
Most people who receive dialysis can continue working or studying. Naturally, they will be limited by age and the conditions of the original disease that caused the kidney disease.
