HI HOW RU? Peritoneal dialysis is best option. but it is costly than hemodialysis.but in Peritoneal dialysis lot of chances of peritoneal infection ,long life package will be available in 10 thousand dollar. & atlast kidney transplant is best option . if any question tell me frankly.
AND U ALSO TAKE CARE BECAUSE CKD IS HEREDITARY DISEASE  check ur hypertension & glucose levels yearly .good by      

hi tanx for ur answer....im doingjust fine...but worried with my moms condition...the doctor said dialysis can wait a bit but would like to start earlier before it gets worst..her both kidneys shrunk..so no repair or remedy can be done...her urine is just ok..her only complain is vomiting and leg cramps whch is really expected for kidney patients....about kidney transplant, ive heard news about transplant that didint work...one case is that after a year the body rejected the kidney and so the patient died...and one more why peritoneal is better than hemo?tanx.good day!
