Here are some recommendations for dialysis outfits, along with explanations:
**Good options:**
- **Loose, comfortable clothing** - Allows easy access to dialysis access sites and prevents constriction
- **Button-up shirts or tops** - Easy to partially remove for access to arms/chest without fully undressing
- **Layers** - Dialysis centers are often cold, so bring a sweater or jacket
- **Slip-on shoes** - Easy to remove if feet/ankles swell during treatment
**Avoid:**
- **Tight or restrictive clothing** - Can interfere with blood flow and access sites
- **Dresses or one-piece outfits** - Make it difficult to access treatment areas
- **Jewelry** - Can get in the way of equipment and procedures
- **Strong perfumes/colognes** - May bother other patients in the shared space
The key is to prioritize comfort, warmth, and easy access for medical staff. Soft, stretchy fabrics like cotton are ideal. Always check with your care team for any specific guidelines.
