Starting Dialysis

Learning that you have end-stage renal disease can be overwhelming. Many patients may initially resist or delay starting dialysis until their condition worsens and symptoms begin to affect their daily lives. The demands of a regular dialysis schedule may also disrupt personal routines and place financial pressure on patients and their families.

At the Kidney Dialysis Foundation, we understand these challenges. Our multidisciplinary team supports patients through every stage of their dialysis journey with compassion, patience and professionalism.

Explore the key factors to consider when choosing a dialysis centre that best meets your needs. Dialysis is life-sustaining and can help patients live longer and happier.
