Are you complaining that your dialysis treatments are too long? AAKP urges you to recognize that your health and your very life depend on getting the right dose of treatment. That dose includes, in addition to enough time on dialysis, a large enough dialyzer and a high enough blood flow. If anything, you probably need more time on dialysis than you are getting. Refer to the other information included in this Advisory and discuss your own situation with your doctor and dietitian. You can’t know too much about what is necessary to keep yourself well on dialysis. Call or write AAKP if you can’t get satisfactory answers to your questions. We are anxious to help you to get the best chance at life.
