Welcome to an insightful episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior podcast where Kidney Warriors and Health Professionals share their experiences and knowledge about kidney disease. This episode, hosted by Dee Moore, a dedicated kidney health advocate and kidney warrior herself, features Dr. Lavanya Kamesh, a Consultant Nephrologist from Birmingham, England with a 15-year specialisation in Peritoneal Dialysis.
This episode dives deep into the nuances of Peritoneal Dialysis, dissecting how it operates and who it might suit. Dee Moore shares her personal experiences with peritoneal dialysis. Listeners are also offered an in-depth understanding of the contents and the significance of the peritoneal dialysis fluid.
Dr. Kamesh provides an expert perspective, emphasising the benefits of peritoneal dialysis, such as its ability to preserve a patient's independence. Additionally, the episode elaborates on the importance of informed decision-making and patient choice in determining the type of dialysis one chooses.
The episode also delves into challenges faced during peritoneal dialysis, such as infection risks and tube malfunctions, and the measures in place to minimise these risks. Another aspect discussed is the concept of 'self-care', emphasising the patient’s role in taking full ownership of their health. Everyday practicalities of peritoneal dialysis, like the types of bags used and storage of dialysis supplies, are also discussed.
The episode concludes on an optimistic note, providing practical advice and outlining how patients can benefit from peritoneal dialysis while managing its associated challenges. Tune in to learn, be inspired, and gain valuable insights.
