Just admiration for you on working on haemodialysis.. I studied on haemodialysis full time,.. not quite the same thing as they charge you for it:D But still a workload..
Hope you get those glitches sorted and smoothed out soon..

In the US the AAKP serves a s...

Hi .. you need to be clear of your options before you decide.. Here in the UK it is possible to be 'written up' (for the donor to have all the tests etc) for a live donation and then accept a cadaver (from a dead person) kidney. This happened to me. I accepted a cadaver the day before I was due to g...

Hi Laura.. yes to someone with working kidney's 500ml does seem like a ridiculously small amount. It will probably seem even more so to your dad if he is used to downing a few pints with his mates as many normally do. However kidneys balance your body's fluid (among other things) by producing urine....

I think its normal to feel nervous.. I was when they dropped my Neoral to 100 from 150.. However tthough may sometimes appear otherwise their 'protocols' ususally ARE based on scientific research, even if they aren't very good at explaining things.. Give em a call if you're worried..

Interesting post Jack.. Aruba is a Carribean Island BTW (I had to look this up as my geography is somewhat lacking.)

An oft covered topic!
Personally I found hemo worked well for me once I settled on it. A main reason was the it intruded less into my home life, as once off the machine I walked completly away from it until the next session. I had PD when much younger.. It didn't agree with me so well.
