Just wondering - how does an operation (nephrectomy) affect your PD?

How do they test your peritineum to see if it is intact and usable?

How long after the "tube" is placed to you start using it?

For how long can you do PD before you peritineum gives out?
 
Can you shower/ Bath/ swim with it?

Do you prefer daily short exchanges or the nocturnal "machine" version.

I am seriously thinking of doing PD. (Now that I know I will have to do D for a very very long time)

Please head on over to the "home Dialysis" thread and check out my topic "step by step PD experience"
I am sure you will find some answers over there

PD is GREAT I love it so far (its only been a week, but waaaaayyyy better than Hemo and I did that for 10 very long horrible months)
good luck!!
