Abstract
This chapter gives an idea of what happens before a patient begins dialysis. It also suggests a few things that are worth thinking about before dialysis treatment starts. These suggestions are for patients awaiting haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis to give them an idea what to expect and perhaps feel less anxious.
