Trouble Breathing
Peritoneal dialysis and
in-center hemodialysis
may be about the same.
Studies show just as many people on
each treatment have trouble breathing.
Here’s what one study showed:
Peritoneal
Dialysis
In-center
Hemodialysis
There are no studies to tell if transplant is better than
peritoneal dialysis for chances of having trouble breathing.
Talk to your doctor about what might be better for you.
