Featuring FAQs from Patients Like You! 
 

Watch the taped webinar now!


What exactly is dialysis?  What does it do?  Who needs it? When the kidneys can no longer clean the blood like they should, dialysis is a widely-used kidney replacement therapy. But many people don’t understand the process and what dialysis options are available.


As part of the PKD Foundation's new patient education program, you can learn all the ins and outs of dialysis in a free webinar! The webinar features general information about dialysis, discussion of the different types of dialysis available and tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle while on dialysis.


This FREE, one-hour webinar took place on Tuesday, June 9 at 8pm ET (7pm CT/6pm MT/5pm PT/1am GMT).
