When do you know if it is time to start dialysis with CKD?

@jprust One thing my nephrologist was asking me each time we met, was to find out if I had any nausea or vomiting. Apparently this is a sign of the kidneys starting to fail even more, as toxins back up in our system. I must have a cast iron stomach., as these never happened. I do know that since starting the peritoneal dialysis, I feel better, and I am of the opinion it is cleaning my blood to a point that is allowing my chemo medications for multiple myeloma to work better.

That is good to know also. It is amazing how much medical knowledge people have on here. You have to be to guide your own care.
The nephrologist is watching my hubby’s weight pretty closely.
