Whether you’re newly diagnosed, a long-term dialysis patient, or supporting a loved one with chronic kidney disease, this episode offers clear, compassionate insights to help you navigate the dialysis journey.

Together, they unpack the basics of how haemodialysis works, including vital topics like fluid management, the importance of dry weight, blood pressure monitoring, pump speeds, and the common causes of cramps during treatment.
