Why am I on haemodialysis not peritoneal dialysis?
For some people there are medical reasons why one type of dialysis treatment is definitely better. For example if you have had abdominal operations in the past peritoneal dialysis may not work. For most people either type of dialysis would provide good treatment and the type you are on should depend upon what most suits your lifestyle. If you do not understand why you are on the type of dialysis you are then you should ask one of the doctors or nurses to explain.
