Can people travel on dialysis? Chris Greene’s Thrive On Story

Meet Chris Greene, a retired resident of Sedona, AZ with a positive outlook on life. Like many chronic kidney disease patients, when first diagnosed, Chris was in shock and in denial. Her doctor told Chris that she needed to start dialysis. Lucky for Chris, her doctor recommended at-home peritoneal dialysis (PD) to fit her active lifestyle of camping and hiking. Chris’s Fresenius Kidney Care nurse came to her trailer to train her on PD and showed her exactly what to do.

Choosing PD not only made travel possible for Chris, but it also allowed her to take a dream 5,500-mile camping trip across the U.S. "I don’t know if there’s any limit to what I can do,” said Chris after her 2-month trip.

PD was the best option for travel-lover Chris Greene. Use our CKD Treatment Options Guide to help you decide which treatment option fits your lifestyle: www.freseniuskidneycare.com/tools-and-resources/kidney-disease-treatment-decision-guide.
