APD and shift work

One of the biggest benefits of PD is that it gives you the opportunity to adjust your dialysis schedule to allow you to live a full life - including maintaining a full-time job. As long as you receive your daily dose of dialysis as prescribed, shifting the start time around your changing work schedule should not reduce the overall effectiveness of your dialysis. Our PD nurses work with the patients to develop creative treatment plans when necessary, and discuss them with the Nephrologist. PD is a team effort. We need to all work together to help you thrive.
