Dialysis Is Life Support, Which Is Why Treating Kidney Failure Is A Full-Time Job
Tuesday, Mar 31, 2020 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Kidney failure devastates people emotionally and financially as well as physically.

These patients suffer from symptoms that can include pain, nausea, fatigue, swelling, shortness of breath, and weakness. Dialysis can take place at home or at a dialysis center – and access to insurance options can reduce financial stress for patients. Many patients are too sick to work, and with dialysis sessions taking four hours each three times a week, it’s tantamount to having a part-time job. In fact, about 80% of dialysis patients cannot work. To learn more, follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook, and visit our website.
