Coping with Dialysis
Being told that you need dialysis because your kidneys are starting to fail, can be very stressful, emotionally as well as physically. By watching this program, you will learn what kinds of resources can help you cope with the emotions, as well as the lifestyle changes that go along being on dialysis.
Lifestyle Changes with CKD
Living with Chronic Kidney Disease involves a lot of changes, starting with making room for dialysis in your weekly routine. Beyond dialysis, there are several other healthy choices you can make that might include controlling your blood pressure, cholesterol or diabetes, stopping smoking, eating healthy, and getting your weight under control. This program will walk you through some important lifestyle changes that can help you live longer with CKD.

Everyone who has Chronic Kidney Disease is unique, so it's important that, working with your healthcare provider, you create a CKD management plan that works for you. By watching this program, you'll learn how eating healthy, staying active, taking your medications and getting regular healthcare checkups are all key parts of managing your CKD.
