 Posted: 08/28/06 - 23:00 Post subject: Stopping Dialysis |
  |
|
I`m 44 years old and have a kidney disease. I`m on dialysis right now and it is really very stressful and exhausting. I know that dialysis is lifesaving for people like me, who have a kidney disesase, but it`s not an easy treatment at all. I feel tired and sick and want to quit. Should I stop dialysis?

Hi. Many people decide that they don`t want dialysis and live a very long time, but many of them also die of something else, before dialysis. But you are already on dialysis, and Stopping Dialysis is quite a common cause of death. Most of the patients develop some other serious disease, after starting dialysis. So, the point is, once you start with it, you can`t just quit. Dialysis is difficult for many patients, especially for one with other diseases. But if you stop dialysis you could die. It`s not easy but is a must.
