Hello Mr Hartley, come and sit down.
I gather you've been having more trouble since I last saw you?
Yes, that's right.
I've kept vomiting and feeling dreadful.
I can't keep on like this.
It looks as though the next step will be to get you to hospital to start further treatment.
I think you're going to need peritoneal dialysis treatment.
What's that doctor?
It means putting a tube into the abdomen and then washing fluid in and out to keep the toxic substances in the blood down.
It's not uncomfortable and you'll be taught to do it yourself for when you get home.
With this method of dialysis you can walk about and live a reasonably normal life.
Well I have to use this for the rest of my life?
Well, we will also take a specimen of your blood and put you in the computer for a kidney transplant.
If a suitable kidney becomes available, you may be able to undergo a kidney transplant operation.
So you see, there are several ways of helping you.
We'll just have to see how you get on.
