Most people on dialysis are able to keep a regular routine except for the time needed for treatments. Dialysis often makes people feel better because it helps clear the waste products that have built up in the blood between treatments.

Water Use in Dialysis. During an average week of hemodialysis, a patient can be exposed to 300-600 liters of water, providing multiple opportunities for potential patient exposure to waterborne pathogens. Adverse patient outcomes including outbreaks associated with water exposure in dialysis settings have resulted from patient exposure to water ...
There are three strengths of dextrose (sugar) dialysis solutions for PD. The numbers tell you how much sugar is in the solution bag. Solutions with higher amounts of sugar remove more water from the blood than solutions with lower amounts of sugar. • 1.5% (yellow)—Low sugar solution, which removes the least amount of fluid
