@contentandwell Home dialysis puts all the responsibility on the patient. Just like in any situation, there are those who want the control, and don't mind the inconvenience, and others who would rather the convenience, like you said. The biggest positive for home dialysis of any sort is that your kidneys and whole body get the treatment everyday, rather than 3x a week, so the system doesn't experience the peaks and valleys of toxicity that in-center dialysis can cause. There are some who want PD but are not able to tolerate it. We have a friend who got a living donor transplant, fell in to depression, felt he wasn't worth anything, and stopped his medications. He too passed away.
