Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis and home dialysis constitute two options for those living with chronic kidney disease. This article looks at the lived experiences of individuals taking part in a qualitative study and the subsequent themes that emerged. Significant themes include lifestyle adjustments, such as changes to diet and socialising, as well as psychological and emotional implications.
