Could anyone tell me the difference in diet for Hemo Dialysis and Pd Dialysis?

I've been on both and the hemo is way more ristrictive.  CAPD is taking off toxins and fluid 24/7 whereas hemo is three times a week for 3,4,5 hours.  The buildup between hemo is more than with CAPD.  Hope that helps~  ???

It's better if you're gettting more haemo-dx hours. IN my week I do 4-6-6-5 mostly, so get 21 hours - a bit better than 12 or 15, as in 3x4 or 3x5. IT'll go up even more when I go nocturnal.
I did the topic for Home Haemo & Nocturanl btw, ReRun  :)
