Dialysis Options & Education Workbook is a practical, patient-friendly guide designed to help people understand dialysis, compare their choices, and feel more prepared for life with treatment. Created by Kidney Strong, LLC, this workbook walks patients through the major dialysis options, including in-center hemodialysis, home hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis, while helping them think through what fits their lifestyle, support system, schedule, travel needs, and personal priorities. 
 
Inside, readers will find clear explanations, comparison charts, fit-check questions, safety reminders, access education, first-week planning tools, lifestyle guidance, nutrition and fluid prompts, symptom trackers, and questions to bring to the dialysis team. The workbook is designed to be written in, brought to clinic visits, and used as a shared decision-making tool with the care team.
 
This guide is especially helpful for patients who are preparing to start dialysis, newly on dialysis, considering home dialysis, or trying to better understand how dialysis fits into daily life. With a supportive tone and practical layout, it helps turn a confusing and emotional decision into a more organized, informed, and confident process.
