Karlien Greeff has lived with chronic kidney disease for 30 years, including 14 years with a transplant donated by her father. When it failed this year, she decided to do dialysis treatments at home. “I chose peritoneal dialysis because I have a full-time job, a full-time family,” Karlien said. “I don’t want to dialyze in-center and be away from my family. It’s important for us to have dinner together. It’s important that we live as full a life as possible. This is our life, and kidney disease and dialysis will not hamper us.”
