Hello and welcome to HCM.
Your concern is understandable.
Your kidney problem is called CKD-Chronic Kidney Disease.,also Chronic kidney failure.
In this stage, dialysis is done, until you opt for a kidney transplant.
Hemodialysis is better and much safer, than a peritoneal dialysis.(CAPD).
Both have side-effects, but hemodialysis is done under medical supervision.
Don't worry, as hemo is done, if there are some complications with CAPD.
If you need more expert advise, you may contact me by name.
