Kevin had a recent consultation to discuss the different types of dialysis. The one they are recommending for him is one that is meant for long term patients, since he doesn’t have a donor set up. They would have to go in and put two veins in his arm together for the port. It’ll be easier to maintain with a lower risk of infection when doing long term dialysis. They will be calling to set the appointment up to do the port. As far as starting dialysis-they are watching labs and how he feels. Dialysis is so hard on the body that they don’t want to start before they have to.
