Resilience is not relentless optimism; it is having a workable response ready for the bad days.
What to know
- Expect setbacks — an access problem or a hospital admission is a detour, not a failure.
- Keep the reasons you chose home dialysis somewhere you will actually re-read them.
- Maintain at least one interest entirely unrelated to your health.
- Ask for help early. Waiting until you are overwhelmed makes everything harder to fix.
Talk to your care team
This topic is part of Mental & Emotional Health, one of ten modules in the Trivita Learning Hub. If anything here contradicts what your own nephrologist or dialysis nurse has told you, follow your care team — they know your prescription, your access and your history.
Trivita's dialysis nurses answer our care line 24 hours a day on 055 242 1070, including for people who are not yet our patients.
Education, not medical advice. This page explains home hemodialysis in general terms for patients and care partners in the UAE. It is reviewed by Trivita's Medical Director but cannot account for your individual circumstances. Never change a prescription, medication or technique based on this page alone.
