I was considering peritoneal dialysis, but have been told that it causes weight gain, especially in girth. But I am also needing to lose weight to qualify for a transplant. If you are doing or have done peritoneal disease, did you experience weight gain?

Patient A: I lost weight while on peritoneal dialysis. I too need to loose weight. I went to weight watchers and easily reached the required weight for kidney transplant.

Patient B: I was on peritoneal dialysis for seven months before my transplant, and did not gain any weight. You will have to deal with your kidney port around your belly, but it is not too hard to tuck away without it being obvious. Think of it this way: if you dialyze overnight with peritoneal dialysis, you are more likely to get exercise during the regular day and have the freedom to go about your business. Not to knock Hemodialysis, and taking a brisk walk after a session was the lasting thing I wanted to do.

Patient C: if you can remain active, even a little every day and eat healthy the chances of you gaining weight decrease. Also if you stick to your fluid restriction which includes not only liquids but foods that have water in them such as puddings, soups, jello and some veggies. It will help you as well.

Patient D: I gained at first because of the swelling, had a hard time losing but managed to lose 30lbs with diet and exercise.

Patient E: I use some Chinese herbs to cleanse my kidneys and drain extra fluid from my body. They are effective and cause no side effects. More importantly, the active ingredients can help repair kidney damage and improve kidney function. When kidney function is improved, it is possible to avoid dialysis and even kidney transplant. If you do not want to undergo kidney transplant, you can email your reports to pkdtreatment169@gmail.com, the experts in that hospital will recommend natural remedy for you. Hope you get recovery as soon as possible.
