Sodium affects more than food choices when you're on dialysis. It can increase thirst, make fluid control harder between treatments, and contribute to discomfort during sessions. The National Kidney Foundation explains how sodium fits into a hemodialysis eating plan and why small, easy to manage choices can have a big impact over time.

Diet is a key part of your hemodialysis treatment. You may need to limit fluids and change your intake of some foods and condiments.

Caring for your treatment area and access site can help support your health and bring greater peace of mind at home. Infection prevention plays an important role in that care, and the National Kidney Foundation shares practical guidance to help you reduce infection risk with home hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.

Learn about home dialysis, the different treatment types, the possible benefits and downsides of home dialysis, and how to decide if home dialysis is right for you.
