Show Notes

This episode is a must see! It crosses all sectors of the dialysis community, those at risk for becoming dialysis patients, those currently on dialysis and those who are transplant candidates and recipients.  The host and KIWK team are honored to welcome Melissa Sworab and Professor Ivy Jenkins.  As dialysis patients, they share their personal journey from the moment of being diagnosed to their ongoing success in managing daily activities.  They don’t hold back in expressing their opinion on a variety of topics including: the causes of their kidney failure; ways to advocate for self-care; overcoming challenges to get on the transplant list; how dialysis affected their relationship with family and friends and their accounts of some negative experiences while receiving dialysis.

Listen to their stories and check out the resources they share to help improve the quality of life for dialysis patients.
