In yesterday’s blog, I wrote about the central position urine has in the calculation of Kt/V, the output of the PD Adequacy Test that informs us as to how well our dialysis is working. Let’s face it, kidneys are about manufacturing urine in our bodies and the eventual discharge of same, whether male or female. Being on dialysis is a result of our kidney’s failure to produce a “normal” amount of urine, that is, to remove waste products from our bodies.

In an article in UNILAD titled “Doctor claims men in the US are peeing incorrectly and reveals why,” Poppy Bilderberg on April 15, 2024, wrote “…the sitting position is ‘probably the most efficient way’ to properly empty your bladder.” (Link)
So for the men reading this blog, you now must revise centuries of ingrained peeing posture and just sit down when you pee. Good luck with that!
