Managing side effects of late stage kidney disease
Did you know that many of the "side effects" or symptoms people with late stage kidney disease experience can be managed? Some of the most common issues include having dry and itchy skin, feeling tired and drained after dialysis, and having trouble sleeping. You do not need to suffer through these uncomfortable experiences without help!
Our speakers, Dr. Gopa Green and social worker Diane Ruddell will discuss why some of these side effects appear in later stages of kidney disease, and how you can manage them.
Topics you can expect Dr. Green and Ms. Ruddell to address include:
- Dry, itchy skin related to kidney disease, and strategies to manage it
- Post-dialysis fatigue and recovery
- Sleep disorders in advanced kidney disease
- Resources for support
