the reason for him to go on PD is that it is a lesser strain on the heart than Hemodialysis, which is what the amyloidosis is causing, and when he is on HD his BP drops and they cannot keep taking fluid. We have a consult coming up with the PD surgeon in another week. He is very weak and they may not be able to perform the procedure

@devineone PD is definitely easier on the body and all organs. I really hope your husband can qualify for the procedure and start on PD. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers.
