This study wants to understand how different dialysis treatments affect your quality of life and physical strength when you start dialysis. Researchers will follow patients who choose home dialysis (either peritoneal dialysis or home hemodialysis) and compare them to patients who choose in-center hemodialysis. By tracking your experiences over time, this study aims to give future patients better information to help them choose the dialysis treatment that fits their lifestyle and values.
When kidney disease becomes severe, patients need dialysis to survive—but doctors and patients don't have good information about how each type of dialysis affects daily life, mood, and physical strength. This study exists to fill that gap, so patients facing this decision can understand what to expect from each option beyond just survival rates.

You would be followed for about 15 months, starting before you begin dialysis and continuing for one year after. Every three months, you would complete several questionnaires about your quality of life, mood, energy, memory, social support, and physical strength. There are no medications to take as part of this study—it's purely about tracking how you feel and function as you transition to your chosen dialysis treatment.
